C5 brake upgrade
I am going to order C5 calipers and brackets from my GM dealer for my 95, Their price is good. Is there a master kit I can order that has the inserts for use with aftermarket pads and caliper brackets in one part # ? Is that the only 3 c5 parts I need (caliper,anti rattle inserts and brackets) ? I know I need the adapter bracket but thats aftermarket. Any good advice would be appreciated. While I am asking, why does the oe sawblades scrub calipers but the zr1 5 spoke dont in the same size?

The ZR1 style and the '88/'89 and the '90 wheels clear even though they are the same 17x9.5, 17x8.5, or 17x9 (Camaro SS version of the ZR1).
I did not try it, but some have said with some grinding on the ribs of the caliper and/or the inside of the wheel, the sawblades have fit the C5 brakes. I didn't want to grind on them, so I have never tried it.
Good luck.
