Installed the C5 set up on the SS last nite <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> (with the help of a very good friend at the Chevy dealership!) and these brakes are awsume! Went with the ZO6 calipers and they look great. Will be running the car at a event at Watkins Glen next week and will let you all know how they hold up! <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

Well, i just returned from Watkins Glen, and the brakes worked perfectly! I used the stock ZO6 pads and had no problem whatsoever!......I think the best part was the cost, less than $900.00 for brakes that finally work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .........Gary

For an alternative try http://www.nashvillespeed.com
The instructions are online. I almost finished my conversion tonight. All that's left is to bleed the brakes all the way around and take it for a test drive.

Dude can you e-mail me details about this? 'm interested in doing this to my car. How hard was it. What's involved? Did you order the conversion kit? or just make your own?
