Between post 17 and 18, we lost someone. We have two different people at #7. I think Happy Dan is 8. That would make us 3 or 14 more to go.

You'll need the C6 Z06 calipers, pads, rotors and brake hoses. Basically everything that bolts to the spindle (and wheels to clear them). One of my customers has already completed the swap. It worked beautifully for him.

We'll give this one a week or so and see if we are going to shoot for a batch of 22 or just go for 11.

Thanks Guys!

Thumbs up for this GP. If I didn't already have a set on my TA I would definately be down for it. These brackets are awesome guys, a very good upgrade for an LS1 car and a phenominal upgrade to LT1 brakes.

You can get the calipers, other brackets, and ceramic pads from a local autoparts store. Also, you can get the front stainless steel brake lines from http://www.stoptech.com/ instead of buying all four.

C'mon guys, we need some more people to sign up for this. I missed the first 11, so I am on a backup list, so we need to get to 22 people...

Re: Let's do another C5 to Fbody front brake conversion brackets (Bishop)! LIMITED GP!

Okay, here is the deal on this...

We have the 11 we need, we are going to consider going for 22. If we decide that we cannot do 22, the 11 will have a fair and reasonable but limited amount of time to get their orders in. If there are any that do not order in the amount of time specified, someone from the backup list will get the chance. Sit tight while we see if we can do 22. The clock is ticking, though.
