C5 Brake Adapters
Looking for adapters to install C5 brakes on the rear of my 85. This car will be used for track days only, so the E brake is gone and is not important. I already have calipers and rotors. HELP.

You can get all the parts from Chris May at superior,

And Eddie Salinas should have the adapter plates, I just found out about him and his prices are great compared to other vendors. I know he makes the plates for the front, not positive on the rears.

You probably already know this, but there is very little difference between C4 and C5 rear brakes. The diameter is the sameand the calipers have the same number and size pistons. The roters are a little thicker, that's all
Depending on what parking brake system you have on your C4, making this change could be a real PITA
When I put my C5 brakes on the front, I added the DRM proportioning spring which gives more pressure to rear brakes amd brings them into the braking equation
