brake swap
can brakes off a corvette be put on a 86 z28? if so, is it just the calipers or can the rotors be used also? and what yr corvettes could these parts be taken from?

To answer your question, yes...both the C4 standard and C4 HDs will fit, I've made them both work. If you have 15" wheels, the standard C4s are your only option. The 13" HDs and the C5 brakes will require 16 and 17" wheels respectively.

Standard C4 brakes need to be from a '88-94 model. All brakes were HD from '95-96.

Yep, you'll need some fab work, this isn't a bolt on thing exactly, but it can be. A few guys on the boards including myself can do the custom stuff. You'll need the spindles, custom brackets, and hubs made, and then all the brake parts. Also longer studs for the hubs.
Here's my current setup on my 1991 RS. Let me know if you have any questions:
