C5 front and rear brakes for 92Z, help!!!!
I have seen tha BigBrake Upgrade site for LS1 and C5 brake upgrades but because I am finding that if I ask I can usually find the same things for less, example new k-member for $200. So I was wondering if there is an alternative to purchasing a kit for $950? Ebay isn't a good source all the time because I have only seen rotors and not calipers and spindles.
Bottom line where can I find the parts for a C5 upgrade icluding the adapter for less than the BigBrake price?
I am willing to do grinding and drilling if necessary.
Also, do I need a proportioning valve setup and new braided lines, if so whose and price??

What year is your car? Most likely you will keep your current master and you'll be fine. As for prices, it will depend on what you get and where. Are the parts brand new or used? Are they a reputable part or some cheaper brand of part? What is included for that price? How much can you do yourself? There's lots of factors that will move the prices around a bit.
You don't "need" braided lines but if you're wanting the best braking possible I recommend them.
