Default Question concerning calipers

Hey,

Can you take a set of C5 front calipers and mount them on the rear?? I was thinking about stepping up to the next size larger rotors and thought the larger calipers would be a good move.

If it's ok, what other components should I install for this mod.?

Thx

Extreme makes a kit for this as long as you use stock sized rotors :cheers:

Do you have specs/pics? Will Z06 fronts go on stock rear with kit?

Front calipers will fit on the rears, but your parking brake will no longer work, not a big deal on Automatic cars. I assume the "kit" offers a workaround for this.

"Will Z06 fronts go on stock rear with kit?", Z06 calipers are the same as regualr C5 calipers... except the color, so yes.
