Re: C5 brake upgrade done...

nice....looks like you have your rotors swapped though. which way are the vanes inside going? with the drill cuts? if so you'll need to run them on opposite sides.

Looks good, was that an expensive conversion? Pretty noticable difference?

Cost $689 complete, big difference in the way it stops. Here is a detailed list of everything you need for the conversion.

GM Parts List for 93-02 F-body to C5 Front Brake Conversion
UMI - C5 conversion adapters - $239
GM Part # Quantity Description
12530682 1 Right front caliper (standard C5)
12530683 1 Left front caliper (standard C5)
10445856 1 Right front rotor
10445857 1 Left front rotor
12455799 2 Pad abutment bracket
22163727 2 Front caliper brake hose
12530697 4 Pad abutment guide pin
12530703 4 Guide pin boot
22163795 2 Banjo bolt
10139097 4 Banjo bolt copper washers

GM parts list notes:
• If you want the red Z06 calipers, use Part #s 88895128 and 88895129 in place of caliper #s above. The cost is the same.
• The guide pin bolts come with the calipers, so the part number is not listed above.
• The C5 calipers come fully assembled.

GM Part # Quantity Description
12480154 1 set Hawk HP+ Front Pad set
18039366 1 set Durastop Front pad set
88909667 1 set Durastop Ceramic front pad set (w/springs & shims)
88952008 1 set Z06 front brake pad set (w/springs & shims) RECOMMENDED

GM brake pads list notes:
• Neither the regular Durastops nor the Hawk pads come with anti-rattle springs or pad abutment shims. The ZO6 and Durastop Ceramic pads DO come with the NECESSARY springs & shims.
• The Durastop Ceramic pads are not recommended for track use. However, they are a good street pad because they have very low dusting, are quiet, and have a lifetime warranty from GM.
