Rear brakes installed to match the fronts

I finally installed my porsche 993tt rear calipers to match the fronts. They are pretty dirty right now.

Re: Rear brakes installed to match the fronts

Well thats interesting. You think that is better than going vette? In terms of price/eas of finding parts/ and performance??? I am about to do a funll C5 set up, but haven't paid a dollar yet so I can still go any direction I want. The only thing I would say that is not to my liking is the word Porche on my car. Eghh...

Re: Rear brakes installed to match the fronts

The performance is far superior to the c5 conversion, also is the price. One front caliper is around $1000. To purchase the kit from brembo is around $7500. The brackets are much more involved than the c5 stuff since the calipers are radial mount and the rotors are porsche specific so they must be machined to fit the camaro. The front brakes are basicly the same as what came on the 92 firehawks w/ the brembo upgrade.
