Rear C5

Hey I got a question or two. Maybe I've been overlooking this or something but what is needed to run C5 brakes on the rear? I've been searching and reading, reading and searching and any Ls1 or C5 rear brake topic everybody has a damn 4th Gen rear. I just scored a set of C5 brakes and would like to put both sets on. I have the front all situated, all I need now is bigger rims.

Oh and am I going to need to wait around for ebMiller's E brake cables for an ebrake or fab something up for myself? I'm going to take a better look at this later today but havent yet because the damn cold weather. Thanks in advance.

Does anybody have ed's number or email? I've pm'ed him but never got an answer back

bigbrakeupgrade.com has said they will produce a caliper bracket, if there is a want for one. I inquired aboout larger rear discs for my GTA, and they said they would make a new caliper bracket, if I wanted.

I guess you could get just the new bracket from them, if that was all you needed.

Yeah a vette IRS would be pretty sweet. But for now I am just worried about the brakes. I'll contact the guys at Big Brake Upgrade to see what they can do. While I'm at it I'll contact the guys at UMI to see if they have anything because I've seen that they have a bracket for 4th gens to convert to c5 brakes.

Hopefully this won't cost me an arm and a leg and I'll be stopping on a dime in no time.

Anybody got any input for the E-brake cables?
