C5 brake Conversion Kit?

Agreed on the bashing.

Just depends on how much clamping force is lost due to the flexing of the less ridged caliper. If the less ridged caliper has more clamping force that might be a better way to go, from a performance standpoint.
Just did a quick search to see if i could find some numbers on caliper clamping force (Camaro, C5 & C6) but couldn’t find anything. It would be cool if someone had a buddy at a croc/gator farm with a bite force gauge and did a comparison of all 3 on an FBody so we had some numbers.
Higher front clamping force with the better leverage and better rear pads might give you a better 100-0 distance
Sounds good in theory! LOL!

Who knows if it's true. I know with EBD the bias is sort of what it is, but the EBD is awful on these cars. Vettes with essentially the same brake setup (sans a stiffer caliper and slightly larger rotor) stop much shorter. I recall the Z06 Vette vs. an 02 SS Camaro in Car and Driver.
70-0 Brake in feet were 157-160 for the Z06 and around 210 feet in the Camaro. That's a huge difference and it's not all weight/pad material/tires since they are similar to be honest. It's in the way the ABS/EBD system is configured. Wish we could modify that.
