I tried a search but came up with next to nothing. It looks like C5 calipers will work on the LS1 rear brake assembly, but does anyone know about the LT1 rear.

Im doing the C5 conversion on the front and want to do something for the rear. I know the rear brakes only do about 30% of the brakeing, and I dont care if its not worth it. I want to fill up some of the space with these huge 18" Z06's.

So does anybody know if the C5 calipers and rotors/pads will work on the LT1 rear. Do I need some type of conversion bracket like in the front?

 

which z06 wheels do u have c5 or c6

 

Did you tell any difference when you swapped over to the C5 brake kit? I want to do that to mine just wondering if you could tell a difference.

 

C5 Z06's and I havent installed the C5 front brakes yet, i'm still buying up the parts.

 

Well does anyone have any other type of bigger rear brakes, like Bear or Wilwood? Do they come with some sort of bracket like the fronts do?

 

your questions about the C5 rear brakes will be answered by heading over to thirdgen.org and going into the brake board section of the message forums. There are a few guys runing them on a 4th gen rear. There is a member there who will get you EVERYTHING you need to complete your brake upgrade andhe is very reasonalbe on prices and he knows a lot about these systmes. His member name there is EbMiller88

 

Thanks. I've been looking around and I found a company that sells rear C5 brake conversions for a pretty reasonable price, but i'll check out you advice also.

 

i have a wilwood rear kit, 12.19" rear rotors i have not put them on yet, when i get around to it tomorrow, ill see if there are any brackets in the box for you, but i dont believe there is a bracket

 

The rear C5 conversion kit i'm looking at has brackets.

 

LT1 POWR, do you have a link to the website for the C5 rear brake conversion? I am interested in this setup as well.

Yeah. Here is the kit with the parking brake.

And the kit without the parking brake.

I know for the application chart, it does not list the 4th gen, but I talked to them the other day and they said it will work, they just havent updated their site yet.

 

Under extreme braking, torque arm cars like third and fourth gen F-bodies are prone to rear wheel hop. Adding more rear brake will only make this worse.

 

I think if I set the suspension angle up right and adjust the front and rear brake proportioning, I wont have any problems with wheel hop.

 

Install your front c5 kit and put some good pad in the rear and go try it.You dont need nothing more in term of braking power,but seems to already know it...

700$ for the kit without the caliper,brake pads and discs.With the missing part we are talking about more then 1k $$$

And only to fill up your mags

IMAO totally useless

 

My car made it into High Performance Pontiac with stock rear brakes, pads and all.
