C6 Brake Conversion
Hey guys, I tried searching the forum with no luck. I have seen the c5 to c4 brake upgrade and the c6 z06 to c4 brake upgrade but I have not seen anyone do the stock c6 brakes on a c4. I have a line on a really cheap set of rotors, pads and calipers but I just cant find anywhere that I can get some sort of adapter bracket for the calipers. If anyone has any know how on where I can find some please let me know. Is it the same bracket that mates the c5 calipers?

The base C6 has the same brakes as the C5 with minor improvements to the caliper.
GM made the C6 caliper a little stiffer but it bolts right up and is fittament wise the same as the C5.

Ok that's good to know. So any c5 conversion bracket with c6 brakes and rotors will work then it sounds like. If that's the case I'm going to order the brackets and when I get all my parts I'll do a good write up with pics for anyone interested

Here's a good read:

I'm doing the C5 brake swap on my 85 as well. If you're lucky like I was, you can snag all four calipers and rotors for about $150 on c-list.
