I'm in a C5 now, but I found this interesting. If it bolts directly to a C5 spindle, it should bolt to a F Body with track brackets.
They accept the 7416 pad shape. These are directed at the "Hot Rod" crowd who run C5 suspensions, but should be better than a C5 stock caliper. Sam Strano sells this setup. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...&ModelID=11 |

I've wondered in the past if the aftermarket brake systems for the C5/C6 would mount to a 4th gen with the trackbrackets. I always drool over the AP kits for the Vette's, such as this one:

When I was looking at buying the LG Gstop kit to adapt to my track brackets, the radial mount bracket bolted to the backside of the Vette knuckle. The C5 abutment bracket bolts to the front side of the track bracket if memory serves. This kit uses the stock C5 Rotor with a SL6 Caliper. This is on the Vette knuckle (IMG:http://www.ls1howto.com/howto/c5/wilwood/pics/100_wilwoodbracket.jpg) This post has been edited by FASTFATBOY: Oct 30 2015, 12:23 AM |
