Brake problems, pics inside...

[Blacdout96]

So long story short, I did ssome suspension upgrading since all the bushings are 160K young. As you all know the one side had to be cut out to replace!! while I was under there I said, meh, might as well put new brakes, pads, rotors, etc. Here's a couple pics of the old setup to help you guys try to understand whats goign on.








So I bought all the stuff, painted it, but there was a snag. Problem is it doesn't look like it's supposed to be on here in the first place. So now I'm at a loss here at what to do cause I'm not sure if I'm going to have problems. Here's what they look like.














Anybody know what they may fit?

So what's the problem? It looks like you went with the C5 or C6 upgrade? Which path did you choose, C5 or C6? I have C5 setup on my firechicken and my WS6 wheels clear, my ZR1 replica's clear, my OZ wheels clear and all are 17" wheels. I think (double check this) the C6 stuff requires 18" wheels.

I must be missing something?

So you don't like how the brakes look under the 17" wheel? Or?

Since they have "Corvette" embossed I would say C5 upgrade and not just the C5 rotors with brackets?

Just playing around with you guys. Yes I finally upgraded to C5 brakes. The calipers are so close that one of my inner wheel weights got knocked off so I had to go and get a slimmer one, and even that one had to have a smidgen of material taken off it the center to just clear. I haven't taken it out yet because I installed as well a 14.4:1 ratio rack from blueshark123, and badly needs an alignment. Also I have to finish putting in my lightweigt puhrods on the passenger side.

I've had all these parts for a few years, but I wanted to change all the ball joints and bushing before I installed so i can feel the steering and braking more accurately.

Looks real good man, more brakes is never a bad thing.
