Question for people who have first hand knowledge - and yes I have searched and found conflicting information.

I would like to do the C5 brake upgrade on my 92 C4, and would like to know if I could gather the same parts off of a base C6.

1) Are the calipers identical? - if not what are the differences - Some say identical, some say more reinforcements in the casting.

2) Caliper Brackets - identical to the C5? Haven't seen too much on this other than the Z51 is a different bracket which I understand due to larger rotors. - But back to the base model - identical to the C5?

3) Rotors - I understand that its the same 12.8" size as the C5 but I searched the web and read where its actually a different casting and weigh about 2lbs more. Is this correct? are there differences?

4) Pads - Read several accounts where folks say identical - Pretty sure this is a yes

5) Anyone know if the brake lines on C5 or C6 can be used on a C4?

I am trying to do this swap on a budget - so if you know of any or are willing to part with any of the above needed parts at a fair price let me know.

Thanks in advance!

 

The lettering on the caliper is the only difference with noting.

Both calipers are made by PBR of Austalia.

 

Thanks! Ok calipers solved.. who knows about the brackets? Base C6 to C5 the same?
