Thread: c5 vette calipers installed

C5 rotors are 12.8" vs 12" F-body rotors. So you will be gaining quite a bit of stopping ability vs the antiquated F-body.

Front.

Edit: But that makes it hard to believe the C5's are lighter, though I haven't checked, since my wimpy 16" wheels will not allow 12.8".

C5 rotors will work but you will need the bracket from KORE3

Its a better upgrade then the GXP since the rotors are way lighter.

^that

Sry, I thought F-body rotors were being compared to C5.

so my deal i was waiting on for some 19's was taking way to damn long so i just got some nice rotors to replace the oem stuff. nothing too fancy, once i find wheels ill be going with the vette rotors. but until then these will do. gonna end up doing gxp rears as well. while i know it wont make any stopping difference, it will looke a **** ton better.
