I tried doing a search to no avail. Has anyone put C4 brakes on their LT-1? I read an article in GMHTP Magazine where someone put C4 brakes on the LT-1, but the article didn't elaborate as to what, if any, modifications were needed for this conversion. Hell, i don't even know if their would be a benefit to doing it. C5 conversion is pretty much out of the question because of cost. Any help is appreciated...

My thoughts would be that they are the same, but its just a shot in the dark. Probably better off with a LS1 set.

The Baer 13" Track Claw system is a C4 setup; nice improvement over stock. The kit comes with brackets to allow you to mount the calipers over the larger rotors. I got mine as part of a GP for $675. The C5 is a better setup, stronger calipers. You need to verify that the calipers will fit inside your rims; not all 17" rims have the same clearance. The C5 setup would not clear my 17" Enkei Winn wheeels, that's why I went with the Track Claw setup. If you're on a tight budet, the LS1 upgrade is less than half the price.
