12 inch Vette brakes on 3 gen.

Hello

Were there any thirdgens with 12 inch front disc brakes?

The reason why I`m asking this question is that I have possibility of buying 12 inch front disc brakes with calipers from a `93 Vette very cheap. But after removing the wheel I found out that they won`t fit because of different brake mounting I wonder if there were any 3gens with 12" front brakes.

Regards
Marcin

Thanks for help!

But in the thread you`ve linked there are rear vette rotors, which are smaller and I`m trying to put the front rotors. Guess that`a impossible at all

Anyway thanks for reply.

The rotors are the same the difference is in the offset of the rotor that is why he cose to use the rear rotors on the front.

... send ebmiller an email.
Basically you create a hub from a rotor assembly, build an adapter bracket and bolt everything on. There is also a C5 version.
