Default C5 Brake Conversion Adapter Question
I know a lot of Forum Sponsors make them and I know who they are. I just what to know from those of you who have done the conversion who's version are you using that has absolutely no fitment problems, no shims, no interference, no filing. You just bolted it on and it worked perfectly. Also, all of these are made from steel, correct.
Thanks.

I used Electro-Dynamics - BF-004 Brake Adapter Kit

BF-004: Front C5/or Z06 caliper adapters, steel, to the front of C4, 1988-96: $285/set

These are digitally machined and have been through a heat treating process to enhance strength. They require painting by customer. The attaching components have been black oxided. Instructions are included.

I have the Jeffvette adapters, they bolted on without any issues. I paid $100 shipped, two years ago. I did end up with the rotor lightly rubbing the caliper, why me and not others I do not know.

You are referring to Ed Miller, I believe. He makes a very nice product, and is the most reasonably priced right now.
