c5 brake upgrade

hey guys, sorry i tried doing a search but didn't really find anything concrete in regards to this. I'm wondering if anyone has a link to ALL the parts and modifications requred to do this. right now I have the front end of my car right off, k-member out etc. I want to upgrade to the C5 brakes.

I was kind of suprised( since i haven't been on the site for a bit) not to see a sticky about these common swaps, like the LS1 upgrades etc. that way you could get mad at us dumbasses like me.

anyways. if anyone has the info, the partnumbers which ever in regards to this upgrade.

cheers

Blake

i think this article is a little old because not all of the prices are correct but it will give you a rough idea and most of the part #'s that you need.

for the custom parts that are required you can talk to ebmiller on here. i am in the process of doing this on my car and he has helped me out with a lot of it. some of the parts i did myself like the brakets, spindles, and hubs. but it would not have been possible with out his help. Thanks again ED.

I started a word list of parts/prices/vendors in which I bought my stuff. The only things I don't have yet are the rear brake lines. I can pdf it and post if you like. Have to wait till I get home tonight though.

Here is my parts list for those interested. You could save some dough through buying other rotors and unpainted/reman calipers.
