92 Brakes

I want to upgrade my brakes, but want to keep factory sawblades. Can I do a C5 upgrade or should I look at a J55 up grade.

I don't think that the C5 upgrade will clear the sawblades. The J55 or GS calipers will definitely fit.

C5 calipers definitely WON'T clear your wheels.
J55 brakes WILL clear your wheels.

Both brakes appear to be about the same otherwise.
The C5 brakes have more 'swept area' or more simply... larger pad area that contacts the rotor.

I'm upgrading to the J55' brakes soon as my 'ship' comes in.
