Information about C5 Parking Brake on C4
Here is a picture showing that indeed a parking brake is available from Electro-Dynamics. The components were installed for fit during a recent walk through installation for a customer.
This setup, BR-003, is using: C5/Z06 rear rotor, C5/Z06 parking brake, and the C5/Z06 rear caliper. The picture shows the rear C5 anchor plate prior to the caliper installation.
Other installations from Electro-Dynamics are:
BR-002, C5/Z06 rear rotor and rear caliper on rear of C4
BR-001, C5/Z06 front rotor and front caliper on rear of C4

Pricing is posted on Electro-Dynamics website. It is for those that desire a complete C5 set-up on the rear of a C4. It is not inexpensive for the application. However it is inexpensive for the amount of machining involved.
A less expensive approach is to mount front C5's on the rear, obtaining better braking when properly proportioned, as well as the visual aspect of a bigger rotor, a bigger caliper, and the shiny Corvette logo. This costs you the parking brake though.
It's all in what you want, or other Corvette owners want, and our efforts to provide it.





If you put the stock C4 fronts on the rear( commonly done when you upgrade your fronts to Brembo's etc ), can they be used as well?
