Default Need help with brakes

I woule like to go to a 13", or bigger, rotor on my 72. Would greatly appreciate any info on what I need to accomplish this task. I do know that vb and p sells a c-5 conversion kit, fronts only, for a lot of money. Unaware if any company sells adapters for the placement of calipers of other necessary hardware.....THANKS

There is always Corvette Engineering ....
But almost every company now makes big brake kits. your biggest job is figuring out where and how much money to spend.
