Brake Converstion

[Carz28]

Hey guys,

We'll since it's winter and I have a good paying job I am stock piling parts, I have a lot to catch up on since I was in school. My question is what do I need to convert my car over to a better brake system, I am going to get a bigger wheel/tire setup to suit the larger brakes... I have been looking at a C5 vette setup which I can get for pretty cheap, I just need to buy the pieces seperatly...

For the front I figure I need:

- Caliper mounting bracket
- C5 Calipers
- Brake roters
- ? Do I need a C5 brake line as well? I am looking to upgrade to stainless lines anyways but not sure if the C5 or Camaro are any different...

For the Rear:

- C5 rear caliper
- Brake roters
- Mounting bracket
- ? Same question about the brake lines?

I know some of you guys have done this before so I am sure you can help me out with this. If you guys have other suggestions on where to look/what to do I am all ears, I'm just trying to keep it within reason ($).

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Devin

I wouldn't put any money into the rear unless you are just changing pads, and rotors. I've considered the C5 brakes, but I'll probably just do an LS1 front brake swap. Seems how you already have those you can upgrade rotors and pads up front. Otherwise check out UMIperformance. They have everything you need for a C5 front swap. You could probably pull it off for a bit over $500

Great, thanks for the info... looks like what I will do is the front setup and just the rotor and pads for the rear... I'm still going to do the stainless lines all the way around...

Yep C5 should be more than you'll ever need unless you wanna shell out thousands for a baer setup.

go to thunder racing they have full packages for just pads and rotors or full c5 set ups both with full stainless and even comes with fluid

my brother's friend is looking for calipers for me... he can get dealer pricing if it is any better... I already got the setup figureed out...

Front:
- C5 Calipers/mounting bracket
- C5 stainless steel lines
- Satisfied pads (GS6 series... current pads work well)
- High temp fluid (not a big surprise, good for those days I get to a track)
- Centreck (Spelling?) slotted rotors

Rear:
- Satisfied Pad (GS6 series)
- Stainless lines
- Centreck slotted rotors

All of thing should be around 800 if not less, I haven't looked at all of the numbers yet. I got all winter.
