C6 front brake conversion vs C5 I want to do a C5 conversion on my 97 T/A and I have also found that some have done a C6 swap as well but I havent found as much info on the C6 vs C5 conversion. I feel like the C6 might be slightly better? What are the benefits if any to C6 over a C5 conversion? I have found a few kits for C5 but not C6 conversions also to purchase
I don't know much about the C6 conversion but I would seriously look at the cost difference between the C5 and ATS options. Either way I believe you will need LS1 spindles, for the C5 setup you will need adaptor brackets, for the ATS setup you will likely need wheel spacers. With the ATS setup though you get a 4 piston brembo caliper.
C5 and C6 use the same calipers (close enough) and pads. The rotors on C6 Z51 are slightly larger, but here's the thing. ALL OF THESE TWO PISTON CALIPERS are basically and functionally the same.
I have a much, much better solution. 4 piston calipers, but less costly pads and lots of different C5 front rotor options.
