All of the information you need is in this post. I'm in the process off getting all of the stuff now. Jeff Kopp is the man for the GM parts and Gene can help on the adaptors.
Shipping might be a problem for you though. :lol:

Re: I whant C5 brakes. (devilfish)
No new master cylinder. And with the the adapters from Electro-Dynamics it is a perfect fit. Braking is MUCH better. One thing, I have heard that the C5 brakes will not fit inside the sawblade wheels, that you need to have the zr1/gs wheels or something similar. I can not confrim this as I have the zr1's and my orignal 16" wheels will definately not work.. On my wheels I have about 2 mm clerance from the wheel-weights to the caliper..
Shipping was no problem: I just asked my brother, who studies in the US, to bring it with him the next tim he was home.. :cool:
PS! Skal du være med på Big Meet i år? Har vært der en gang tidligere og det var STORT... Vurdere om jeg skal dra i år også.....

I knew it would be a PITA thats why I said that. I wasn't making fun of you out of country guys. I was laughing with you as I can only guess at what you go through. Its hard enough to get stuff here.

No, people that have done this report no problems with the master cyclinder.
The main down sides are the expensive adaptors and the need for A-mold type wheels to clear the big calipers.
Gene helped us out a lot on the adaptors.
