Brake upgrade help, Please!!!
On my previous 95 C-4 I upgraded the front brakes to a C-5 Z06 setup and loved it. It now appears they out of production. Want to upgrade but if possible would like to keep the 9.5X17 inch Z06 wheels on the car. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated

Curious how c5 parts would be an improvement over c4 brakes
didnt all 1995’s have the 13” j55 brakes
whereas c5 (even c5 z06) was a 12.75” rotor?
Still 2 piston fronts (like c4 j55)
i think i did hear somewhere the c5 brake design has more of the pad contacting the rotor (swept area)
and also a thicker (and heavier) rotor , which might be useful for dedicated road racing - but otherwise un noticeable on the street - even with the occasional spirited run
