This link will put you on their web site. There are others on the Forum that have the adaptors cheaper, but I used these about a year ago. they are well made and good people to deal with.
You will be pleased with the cost/value ratio for this conversion and the braking performance is fantastic.

:iagree: C5 upgrade is awesome
Electro dynamics is high on their adapters. Just do the front brakes, the rears are basically similar to C4, plus you could have emergency brake problems with C5's
You might want to install DRM Brake proportioning spring to bring the rear brakes into play
:D :seeya

They vary by car year, front, rear, and polished or not. Mine were $275+/-. The whole setup was under $750 for front with red Z06 brakes, rotors, and hawk pads. I also went for the polished brackets. The C4 has better rear brakes so stick with those. Just paint them red.
