My C4 rear setup, powdercoated.

I decided after having these parts for over a year already, to mock them up, even though the car is not ready to receive them yet. Pic sucks, but tell me what you think. I have the calipers and carriers powdercoated by Robert Noble and I think they came out great. Anyway, I will post more pics when I get closer to bolting them up.

Two piston rear, very nice. Kind of an ugly looking caliper though.

The calipers are the rears from a c4 vette. They are going on the front of my IROC. IMO these calipers are wicked looking. But hey, that's just me! And thanks Ed for making a great setup. Although I did not get the parts from you directly, I did get them from a member who ended up not needing em!

No problem Will, but those are indeed front calipers you're using but maybe you're using a rear rotor with them. This is a 12" setup, right? C4s used single piston PBR rear calipers that are essentially the same casting as out F-body '89-97 PBR rear calipers with a different e-brake setup. I attached a pic of a full set of C4 calipers, the rears are in the back.

Yes Ed you are right. I was under the assumption that the kit was rear all, not just the rotors. But it makes more sense now! Thanks

Well your title says "My C4 rear setup" so that made me think two piston rear.
