Hey im looking for some pics of a big brake kit or just drilled and slotted maybe some painted/powder coated brake calipers.

also will the C5 brakes make a difference? can you just get the calipers rotors and mounting brackets off a vette and they bolt on or is this the same setup thats on a F-Body?

You've got a lot of questions. Most have already been answered if you do a search.

C5 rotors are 13", f-body are 12". Calipers are similar, but use different pads and PAB.

There are 2 main kits to mount 13" rotors on the f-body.
"Trackbrackets" and the UMI brackets require cutting, vette PAB, vette calipers and vette pads.

The LG kit is a braket that requires no cutting and you can use the f-body calipers and pads.

Most of the time you just need more aggressive pads. If they are not enough, add brake ducts. If that is not enough, go with the 13 rotor. If that is not enough, then you need to look at the BBK's. (big brake kits).

I have the LG C5 kit on my TA. Right now stock polished fbody calipers, but I have C5 ones waiting.
