For those not lurking in the brakes forum where there are a few pics of my new brakes (and a thread about the conflict with my 17" TT2s) - here is my new setup with Z06 calipers and drilled/slotted rotors.








Brackets and the gathering of all necessary parts to create a complete kit - is courtesy of Ed Miller. Absolutely great to deal with!!

awesome, how much $$ did it cost ya?

 

Wow look better than some overpriced baers i've seen around here....

 

those look good, good job ken They musta been kinda pricey?

 

Nice!!

Would look even better if you had all the lugs on it though

 

Thanks guys!!

85VortecTA & nick418,
They added up to right around $1K. That included absolutely everything I needed to get them on without cores. So it would've been less if I modified the stock parts or at least returned them to Ed, but to me that really wasn't an option since Im in Europe. So I got exactly what I wanted (a 100% complete bolt-on kit) and it was worth every penny!

Air_Adam,
Hehe...I figured someone would comment on that LOL. Im actually surprised no one has brought up the beat up Opel in the background

C5 brakes=

 

it makes me jealous , i have to wait a few more days till i get all my stuff here so i can do mine. Im doing the whole thing myself. I want to do it for the fun of it . But they look good behind your wheels. They look so huge. I love it.

 

My *** does that look sexy, fills up those wheels real nice

 

Oooo very nice. :hail: It looks like you have the car lowered, what lowering kit did you use?

 

looks good

better watch where you place your stands where that one is placed will bend you quarter panel as there is no real support in there. should go further under to the frame channel or the lower a arm.

car looks very nice. what size rims are on there that rotor realy fills it up.

Jeff

 

looks very good!

 

super_kev,
Those are Jamex 1.5" lowering springs

JeffW,
The stand is sitting right on the brace next to the stock jack support. It's not going anywhere Thanks though!!


Ken

 

Yups, looks great!! Now its time for LS1's in the rear.

 

Damn that looks good.

How much of a difference in braking have you noticed?

 

CrazyHawaiian,
You got that right! Im considering that as one of my winter projects

JimmyG,
Theres a biiig difference in braking power. They are incredible compared to my old brakes.


Ken

 

got any contact info for this bolt on setup?

 

Arent C5 calipers grey? I believe those are Z06 calipers...

Either way, thats ****ing sweet!

 

1992rs/ss,
Yes, Ed Miller on this site. Great guy!!

Knyghtmare,
Correct! (As stated in the original post )


Ken

 

I have posted in another thread about C5 brakes. The performance difference over stock is unreal Almost never need to do more then a light press on the pedal to haul down from ludicrous speed! I cannot promote this mod enough. Anyone considering it will not be dissapointed.

So far I am running the J65 proprtioning valve. I have LS1's on the rear and am wondering if anyone has tried different P valves and which one works best... New thread coming

 

Man I wanted to be the first vert with the c5's

But I :hail: :hail: :hail: as it looks sick! I am going with the exact same setup. Excellent job

 

Ed

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was looking at the last picture.....


Do you plan on putting the other 3 lugnuts back in the wheel?


:lala:
