C-5 Brake Conversion parts list...
Can someone give me the part numbers for the C-5 conversion....
(I have the calipers and adapter brackets...just need the additional parts).
Also, does anyone have any experience with the low-end cross-drilled rotors that are being sold on e-bay. They are about 1/2 the price of Baer rotors.
Thanks!

They're half priced for a reason, they're crap. I've compared them side by side with OEM replacement Brembo rotors and the differences are obvious.
I have a cross drilled parachute you'd might be interested in also.

just did this to mine friday nite before heading to putnam park for the weekend. made a huge diffrence in stopping power and fade resistence. you will need calipers, brackets, rotors and pads. i added speed bleeders to aid in quick fluid changes after track days. less then 30.00 for the set. i am using stock lines at the moment but i bought parts from several people and the right ones finally made itto the house at 5 friday. an hour later and wow whan a diffrence

Try the above link, in the brakes section.
You can use drilled rotors but they are for looks only and will crack.

They best way to do this conversion is to get some used stuff from the C5ers.
Its a great budget brake upgrade from the 12in stockers.
