(IMG:http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.racingjunk.com/ui/5/33/34407335-396-1995-Firebird-CMC-car.jpg) Says he is running a Wilwood SL6 Caliper and a C5 rotor under that 17 inch wheel. I want to know how he did it. I contacted the last owner, he bought the car the way it is. This post has been edited by FASTFATBOY: Jul 12 2014, 12:16 AM |

I could be mistaken...but can't you drill out the mounting holes on the F body upright and bolt on OEM C5 brackets and calipers using C5/C6 rotors? If that's the case, wouldn't a C5 Wilwood kit that uses OEM rotors (if it exists) also bolt on to the F body upright allowing you to run the C5/C6 rotors?

You would have to "stack" the brackets, in other words bolt the Wilwood radial bracket to the track bracket. The rub is this, on the Trackbracket simulates only the front of the C5 spindle for the abutment bracket to bolt onto to hold the pads and mount the caliper. The Wilwood radial bracket is designed to bolt to the inboard side of the spindle on the C5-C6 vette. Here is the Wilwood Bracket on a Vette..
