C5 Caliper swap questions
A friend and I are thinking about putting some C5 front calipers on the rear of his C5, mainly for looks (has +1 rear Baer rotors) but for more pad area on the rotor as well.
I know Louis G. mentioned you can put the RF on the LR, and the LF on the RR and they will bolt right up, but...will swapping calipers change the bias, or shouldn't the computer adjust for that itself due to the antilock and active handling? Don't the C5s have problems with trying to add a line lock into the computerized braking system? I could be wrong, and probably am <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but any help on this would be appreciated.

It will work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> The World Challenge cars do it when they put 14" brakes on the front.
If I had a vette, I would not even Doubt about doing it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
