Special Pricing on C5 brake upgrade

I have 5 sets of the C5 brake upgrade adapter brackets remaining in stock.

I am offering reduced pricing on both the bracket sets and the complete brake upgrade package (that includes the adapter brackets) in order to move these final five sets.

Regular price for the brackets is $249.95 plus Shipping. Sale price is $234.95 plus shipping (shipping runs right at $10 on these due to weight).

Regular pricing on the Complete package is $824.95 shipped. Sale price is $799.95 shipped.

Please order online at www.nashvillespeed.com. No need to mention the sale price, I will give the pricing to the next 5 orders.

Time to let the proverbial cat out of the bag I guess.

I am not going to be in business much longer. This market is so competitive its very hard to make any money. I'm just doing it on the side right now so I think its best to quit now than when it gets a lot bigger. To me the return is just not worth the effort I have had to put in. I will, therefore, no longer be selling the C5 kits.

I have approached Bob Bishop about finding a new vendor to sell the brackets for him, because they are such a great product I'd hate for them to dissapear from the market. But he's giving me every indication that he's not going to seek a new vendor. He did ask me to direct new customers to him so if there's enough interest he might make more and sell them himself.

So the sale price is because I need to sell everything I have left so I can "cash out" so to speak and get back to being a regular dude with an F-body.

I'm glad I already ordered mine! A lot of startup businesses reach the point that you have. It's either get a lot bigger or call it a day.

In any case, good luck.

Say it ain't so! I've been wanting a set of these for a while just never been able to come up with the spare cash.

Hopefully someone will pick up where you leave off <fingers crossed>

Sorry to hear it Chris. I know this business is tough, especially if it's a side business for you.

Guy, I still have 4 sets left and I need to sell them in the next week or so.

I'm now offering the brackets only for $224.95 plus shipping and the complete kit for $779.95 when you mention you are a member of camaroz28.com

Somebody help me out here and buy some brakes

This is the best two piston set-up and the best bang-for-the-buck in brake upgrades. Grab it now and you will be happy!

I'd like to second the recommendation for this kit. It's very easy to do and works great. I just ran Mid Ohio a couple of weeks ago with NASA and they never let me down. I couldn't say that for the LT1 brakes.

I've got the fronts coming, does anyone make a bracket for C5's on the rear? I have fr and rear C5 calipers and rotors, it would be nice to do the rear to match the front.

c5 brake conversion kit

can I use the stock calipers and brackets from my 2002 Z28 with this kit....or does it require the use of the c5 calipers and caliper brackets (are they the same size and shape? I know the vette has better caliper castings)? If so, I'd like to take one off your hands.

Thanks,

Kevin

Sorry, I sold out Friday. Anybody who is interested in the C5 brakes should e-mail Bob Bishop at lateapex@charter.net. He designed the adapters and is the one I bought them from. If there is enough interest he will likely produce more to sell directly.
