Default C4 to C5 brake upgrade question

I saw a pic of it the other day. Was wondering if the mounting brakets that hold the C5 cal. on are the stock C5 cal. brakets? It looked as though they kit only had some spacers to give proper alignment. Other than that the parts were all stock C5. Is this right, or is the mounting braket special as well?

Check out this site for info.
The C-5 caliper brackets are used, but you must buy the adaptors from these guys. There are companies that sell kits for about $750. Mine cost $950 because I wanted to pick and chose the parts.
It is a great upgrade.

:iagree:
But my setup cost $700 and most kits cost $850 and have the gray calipers instead of the red ones. Try Jeff Kopp for parts.
