C5 brakes on C4-equipped 87

Hey people, I have picked up a little sponsorship from Stoptech and want to know if I can bolt-on the C5 Corvette pieces (rotor/caliper/line) in place of my C4 pieces? I am currently running 17" forged wheels to clear these and don't want to go the extra cost to get new wheels if I don't have to. Couldn't find a definitive answer on my search.

Also I am installing a Currie 9". Does anybody know what rear discs these usually have?

Thanks,
Mike out

You should be able to swap right over, as for the rears: what axle flanges are on the rear?

Thanks Ed. We have a few common projects. I'm putting the ZZ4 engine with the HotCam and 1.6 rockers (382 hp on the dyno) in the race car and will be using a Richmond 4 speed and changin' out pumpkins for the different tracks I guess.

When I get the rear end back from Currie, I'll contact ya for more advice on the rears.

Thanks again for the guidance!

Headin' out to the track for the weekend to teach HPDE.
