C5 Calipers
How much work is required to adapt C5 front calipers to the C4 ZR1? Can stock ZR1 rotors be used with C5 calipers? What kind of brake lines are required?

Re: C5 Calipers
The simple answer is a lot of work. Reason being that nothing fits as it should and unless you get a take off kit complete from another car, you will be nickeled and dimed to death trying to mail order all the stuff. Don't forget to convert to an 18" spare tire from a 2004-2006 pontiac gto. First off, do you have the A-Mold wheels? If not...this will cost a lot.

The only thing the C4 and C5 share is the general hub dimension and lug pattern which allows the swap to be possible. |

Re: C5 Calipers
You need the C5 rotors. C4s are a bit larger in dia but not thickness.

Re: C5 Calipers
I was curious since there is a guy local to me selling a set of Base C5 brake calipers for a good price. If it requires that much work, I don't see there being much to gain really.
