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 |

This kit would be much better if it used the 7420 pad. Part of the reason people move to aftermarket calipers is to use the nice thick pads that last much longer than factory stuff. Pads for aftermarket calipers aren't much cheaper than stock stuff- they last longer because of thickness and you typically get a bit better compound selection. This kit, like nape mentioned uses the thin pads; you go right back to the same issues the stock pieces have because of the thin pads. If you want to sink money into brakes, get some proper racing calipers. The ones in this kit are designed to be a flashy bolt on for Vette owners with money to blow. The pads in my wilwood SL6 calipers (7420) have over 15 sessions on them, on some hard braking tracks and they have plenty of life left. Not going to do that with thin pads.
