Default C4 rear brakes?

Is there any way to run a 14" rear rotor and larger rear calipers?

I've got a '95 rear suspension going into my '56 Belair and I am running C6 Z06 front calipers and rotors and was curious about getting the same size out back.

To run a 14" rear you willl have to go wih Wilwood calipers.

There is a new bracket in the works for the C4 to mount a 13" rotor and have a parking brake.

running the same size out back would mean an adjustable brake pressure reducing valve for the rear called a proportioning valve
