C5 brake upgrade prices/info
I read through the FAQ, searched like hell, and went through all of the sponsors...can't find what I'm looking for.
Where to buy C5 calipers?
Where to get those low-priced rotors mentioned in the FAQ? (Lowest price I can find is powerslots for $115 a rotor)
Is there an install guide posted anywhere?
I'm sick of looking at $1000 brake kits, when I know I won't need all that.
Thanks.

I've been reasearching this recently too.
IIRC you can get the C5 calipers from scoggin dickey for $95/ea. And supposedly the C5 calipers bolt up directly (if you keep the stock rotors). HOWEVER, there were a few people who said they couldn't get their calipers to fit. So I don't know for sure if they bolt up directly.
If you want to have the c5 rotors too, you'll need an adapter to move the caliper out to fit the bigger rotor. Bob Bishop designed a bracket for that, and I believe UMI performance or LG Motorshoprts carries them.
