C5 Brake Conversion Bracket
1993
So I'm getting C5 Brakes, as my rotor has a nice little groove in it from heating the brakes up in the canyons.
I'm just wondering who still is making the conversion brackets, are there pros and cons to different ones?
I'm looking for just the bracket, I'll be piecing together the rest of the system; c5 calipers, slotted rotors, hawk pads(?), SS lines and fresh DOT 4.
Looking for the best Value!
I'm also curious about the brake proportioning valve, if anyone would like to chime in on that!
Also, I'm also looking for the above things and c5 rims with tires, if anyone knows anyone letting these things go for cheap, let me know!

Doug Rippie Motorsports should have the brake proportioning spring. Not a valve, just a spring that replaces one inside the master cylinder. Should be around $22 delivered.

How much do you want to spend?
I have a set of brackets I'll never use.

We have the adapter brackets, part # 500583 available on our website if anyone is interested. You can also contact me if you need any other parts of the package. We offer C5 rotors and calipers to go with the brackets. The calipers are also available in red powdercoating, like the C5 Z06 had. Let me know if we can help!
Thanks!
