Default 85 brake upgrade question.

Does any one know if the C4 to C5 brake upgrade will work on a 85 with AFS 17" ZR1 wheels? Does someone here on the forum make the adapter brackets to mount the calipers?

Yes, they'll fit, I have the same setup.

Ed Salinas makes the adapters.

Yep, they'll fit. Got them on my 85. Ed Salanis (check the spelling), makes the adapters, got mine from him and they were great!!

Cheers,
Michael
