I have a 93 C4 with the stock wheels and want to do the C5 Brake upgrade but can't find the spacers so that the wheels will fit over the

Does anyone have a source for a 1/2" wheel spacer so these brakes will work with the stock wheels?

:chevy

So you have "sawblades" right? The best source I've seen for spacers is MID AMERICA. $199 for a set of four, I know you only need two, but they come with a bag full of lug nuts and studs....... Try DRM, see if they'll sell you a pair...... Doesn't hurt to ask.

Thanks, at that price the C5 upgrade compares to buying Baer Eradispeed even though I like the C5 setup better. :confused:

Keep in mind you can gather the bits & pieces for the C5 stuff for under $500, most thru Superior Chevy as a forum member???

I bought all the stuff for my C5 brake upgrade for $300 (not including the wheels which I was going to get anyways). If you look around and take your time, you can get killer deals.

The price for new calipers shouldn't run more than $80 each, I repeat, shouldn't. Rotors from "rockauto" are under $20 each. If you buy "reybestos" pads, they come with the hardware kit & rubber boots. So what if you don't like the pads, you'll need new ones eventually anyway right?

Just passing info along bro...........

Hey VN, what the heck are you up to these days, you C5'er you. Good to hear from you bro. How's things?

I got these prices from Superior Chevrolet. Most post that I read say they have the best prices.

Any place else I should check for better deals? :crazy:
