Default C5 brake conversion for sale

ALL SOLD



I did not really want to do this but need money for another project. I paid $1075 for all this. I am looking to sale locally to elliminate shipping. But after 5 days will go to the Corvette forums then Ebay. I only opened for inspection, all new. This is most of what is needed for front and rear C5 brakes. Yes the rear brakes will work on a F-body, and no I will not seperate anything except the rear pads and calipers. $265 FOR THE BRACKETS, $140 FOR REAR CALIPERS, $170 FOR FRONT CALIPERS, $120 FOR THE FRONT PAD KIT, $70 FOR THE REAR PAD KIT, $140 FOR THE ROTORS, OR $900 FOR ALL.

There is a good write-up from a site explaining what all is involved with the rear. I will post the link when I get home. If someone else has it go ahead and post it up.

C5 CALIPERS ON ALL FOUR CORNERS OF A 4th GEN F-BODY


One of the best "bang for the buck" brake upgrades for a 4th gen f-body is to swap the front calipers with some from a C5 Corvette. While the fronts have been done many times in the past few years and have proven themselves to be a worthwhile change, what about the rear calipers?

It has been determined by the experts at FRRAX that there is little to no performance advantage to adding rear C5 calipers to an f-body. The only possible advantage is that like the C5 front calipers, the rears may be pressure cast which could result in less caliper deflection under load. However, the only genuine benefit to adding C5 calipers on the rear is for appearance reasons and for the street credibility of being able to say that you have Corvette calipers all around, and not just on the front.

Until now, it was not known how well the C5 rear calipers fit or worked on an f-body because there was no public knowledge of it being done before. It turns out, very little needs to be done to add C5 calipers to the rear to match the fronts. What needs to be done to get Corvette stopping power on all four corners is as follows:

Front Calipers
- Adapter brackets and information available from SpeedSpecialty
- Installation pictorial found at CamaroSSworld

Rear Calipers
- No adapter brackets needed as calipers are exact in size and mounting location
- Uses stock f-body hardware except anti-rattle spring


Please read before continuing!
Minor modification to the rear anti-rattle spring is possibly necessary. The C5 anti-rattle spring is drastically different than the f-body spring and in my particular case with an aftermarket rotor, it needed to be modified because the edges of the spring rubbed on the edge of the rotor. This could be due to the possibility of the aftermarket rotor being slightly larger in diameter. It is unknown if the same problem exists with stock rotors so before you install rear C5 calipers on your f-body, carefully check to see if you actually need to make the following modifications to the spring before going through with it.




i might be interested... lol, im trying to get a forged 370 shortblock too... lemme see whats up w/ my money priorities

If you want to split it up, I'd take the rotors as long as that's all four and shipping doesn't kill me! PM me if you're interested
