All you C5 brake kit owners...
I was talking with Ed Miller over the weekend and am seriously considering swapping my C4 brakes for C5s and want to see what they will look like on a car. Ed showed me a Corvette caliper and the rotor which I think will look killer but I would like to see how it will look on a bird preferrably but I'll be glad to see any pics. Post em if you got em.

I have them on my Camaro. I got the calipers from an aftermarket source. They are identicle to the Vette calipers with the "corvette" letters milled off and are black. I think the GM Vette ones look better.

Re: All you C5 brake kit owners...
I thought Ken had to shave down the caliper from interference on the back side of the wheel spokes?

He did. Mike and I will just do a test fit since he's close. We'll make it work.

Re: All you C5 brake kit owners...
Nice setup.. those look like Z51s in there. Am I correct? And are those 17" wheels?
For you guys interested in the TT2 and C5 issue, I'm posting a new thread with pics and more info.

Re: All you C5 brake kit owners...
looks like z51's and 18's . Pretty slick too much for me though I am just going with c5 and z06 10 spokes. unless the price on the z51's came way down.
