GXP rotors with C5 calipers?

[CDgtp]

i have C5 calipers with f-body brackets. C5 brackets will work too allowing for a bigger rotor. the corvette has a different bolt pattern so that wont work. the rotor size for the c5 is 12.8", the gxp rotor is 12.7". so with a c5 caliper, and bracket, could a gxp rotor work?

try it

alacran might know something about this

it should work the only thing is if the "offset" of the rotor is different or something.

they are all parts bin shit

you honestly think they change much dimensionally?

fuck man id be using previous component cad drawings for tons of crap since it'll save $0.009 per car

so we can take GA brakes and put em on the W body, 3 different W body brakes, caddy "13" inch brakes fit, Fbody brakes fit, C5/c6 shit fits.
they all use the same hub bearing for the FWD's same hubs on the rwd variants, slight different patterns but all rotors have oversized holes since they all have the same register bore dia.

this lets them make test mules quite easily for many components

you could put grandam brakes on a corvette

what makes you think youll have a problem

Corvette caliper brackets will not bolt the the spindle without an adaptor

Look up kore 3 iirc brake parts they make all kinds of adaptors for fbody guys to run c5/6 brake stuff

but the caddy brake bracket does and iirc the caliper will bolt to it

i forgot the rigid calipers use the bolts perpendicularly

if you look at the vette rotor it'll probably have the 9/16ths holes that would let it clear your bolt pattern

You can put a c5 caliper in the fbody caliper bracket and that as we know bolts on, but you can only use an 11.9 rotor

Yes a caddy bracket bolts up, its ironically the same size as the fbody caliper bracket, as far as the two mounting points

Vettes are unique

so are you guys saying i could or couldn't use the caddy bracket?

 

[CDgtp]

Would a grand prix gxp caliper bracket work with the C5 calipers? or is that compltely different.

 

[The Broken Regal]

that I do not know, but i thought gxp calipers are aluminum anyways, but people swap out the brake pedal because the piston bore size of the gxps are larger than stock

IIRC you need GXP brackets to run taller rotors and C5 calipers. No guarantee that C5 calipers will fit the GXP bracket in the front as i dont think anyone has tried them but a search on CGP will clear that up.

I am running LS1 rotors and brackets with C5 calipers.

 

[slowchevy]

i'm probably doing c5 or c6 brakes in the spring, fuck it.

 

[Alacran]

C6 will not fit the Ls1 rotors, in case you were wondering. Also, are you running 17" wheels because 16" will not fit unless they are like the torque thrust. Enjoy.
