C5 Brake Upgade?
Is there much improvement in the standard C5 calipers and rotors over my current 13"in system on my 95? How much are the adapter kits required for this upgrade and how big a PIA is it to install? Thanks :chevy

Check out Jeff Kopp's web site there is a list of all the parts needed for the conversion. The adapter brackets run around $280.

When you install the C5 brakes in the front, do we need to install that brake bias spring in the master cylinder to even out the front brakes with the stock rears?

I haven't done mine yet and the thing still stops like a race car.
It feels like it will make quite a difference. The car stops a lot better, but I can tell that the bias is way off. It was noticeable stock, and when I went with the 315 tires on the back it got worse. The C-5 fronts make it really obvious.
I am going to do the rear brakes with drilled and slotted stock sized rotors and ceramic pads, I will do the Bias spring at that time.
