1994 base coupe rotors
So I guess I have the 12 inch rotors. As I see it I have two options, use the Z51 rotors, calipers and brackets; or go to the c5 brake conversion. Which would be the better route to go?

I have the C-5 brakes on my 96 VBP stuff ( Got last year on sale ) for what I do good set up . How do you drive the Vett street or what.. It's Ok set up way better that the C-4 stuff it had on it..I have good pads and new C-4 stuff in back..It's not a race thing just stops right now... Thinking about going C-5 in the back ,,adding another 100hp C-5s in the back should work if not, do over...Better way to go?? The C5s thing for the money street ride not bad..Some people like the C-4 brakes my 95 J55 good pads stanlees lines stops.. My 96 just won't stop ,,rebuild the brakes about got me killed ..gave it all away and put on the C-5 stuff ..It stops now....

I have real A-Moles on the 96 . No issues with these.Yes there can be clearance issues.. Have to get the mesurement from face of the rotor to the edge of the calper ..The C-5 setup.. to see what it is then see what you have on your wheels ..I think it's about 1/8---1/4 in not much if have a prom.. and I think a spacer will work if you don't have the wheels for the C-5 stuff.. I love mine for how I drive ..ZOOOOMMMMMM

Wrong .. After market or real C-5s ..Never guess when it comes to anything on Corvette.. Be smart and wayahead for the game ..Check it out first take 5min to make sure ...If going that way I can check mine and gave you a mesurement....

I checked mine 1 3/8s from the outside rotor to the outside calper.I have about 1/4 in to the wheel....from outside edge of the calper...If you don't have it a little spacer no big deal...Just have check it all out make sure you have it right...
