Default Just picked up some C5 brakes ($100)!!!!

went to a swap meet today, and scored a set of corvette brakes for $100.
2 front rotors
2 rear rotors
2 front calipers
2 rear calipers
pads and hardware
minus "GM Corvette Caliper Pad Abutment Brackets," for the front and rear (prolly will pick some up from E-Bay)

UMIperformance has "GM F-Body C5 Front Brake Conversion Brackets" $230.00

My questions for you:
anybody carry mounts for the REAR calliper?
is it even worth converting the rears?
also where can i find steel braded lines for all 4 corners?

THANK YOU

No point in doing the rear calipers/rotors, F-Car and Vettes are virtually identical on the rears.

the vette rear rotors look to be within a half inch from my stockers... BUT the vette brakes have a much larger surface area for the pads to hit the rotors.
