Man, what a huge difference and worth every dollar. Pics can be seen here:

C5 brake upgrade complete - CamaroZ28.Com Message Board

 

Did you have to use washers to space out the abutments bracets from the spindle bracket? My spindle brackets from Ed make the abutments rub on the rotor. I am going to have to use some washers to move them over a bit.

 

Mine don't do that. I went to bigbrakeupgrade.com, the kit came fully assembled and bolted right on.

 

Lookin' GOOD ! Nice job

 

My kit from Ed came with washers to make them fit perfectly. You should send him a PM and see what you need to make it right.

 

So the kit for the front is a no brainer on where to get and what to do, but what about a C5 kit for the rear of a 4th gen rearend? I go the rearend for no spacers on ZO6 wheels.

 

I am doing the c5 rear brake swap. So far I have the ls1 rear backing plate parking brake assembly, lt1 axles, ls1 rotors, c5 calipers and abutments. I have been reading that there really isn't much to it. The reason I am using the ls1 parking brake is because it is a much simpler swap. Check out this site for a little more info:

Ready to spoil your party...C5 calipers/carriers won't bolt onto LS1 backing plates. I have the parts in the shop and I'll post pics of both later.

Sorry!

So a rear LS1 swap - LS1 calipers/brackets + C5 Calipers/brackets?

 

Ed, I just found that out. The C5 abutment bolt holes are bigger than the LS1 and with the Power Slot LS1 rotors that I am using I am off 1/4". Oh so close. I am going to try to make a bracket that moves the abutment down a little bit. I think I can make it work. I will keep you posted. I can't fully make a bracket yet as the axles are in because the rear is put together yet because I can't find a case spreader...but I am working on it.

 

Do they sell a full bolt-in kit, or did you have to do some fab work?

 

It is a direct bolt in.
