I recently did the C5 caliper upgrade for track use. It was no trouble to install. I did not change the calipers in the rear.

$175 shipped, brand new calipers from forum member FLY LOW.
They come complete with brackets and stock pads.
I use Carbotech pads on the track.

$100 Brake adapters from forum member Jeffvette.

$50 in NAPA rotors.

$15 brake bias spring from dougrippie.com


Optional braid lines $100 and $30 for Speedbleeders.

You can find used calipers in the C5 for sale section for pretty cheap if you get lucky enough to be the first poster.
