Matatk | Pictures: C5 brake upgrade (caution - lots of big pics!) | ||

Well, as I stated before, I'd take pics when I did my upgrade, so here they are. Whole procedure was pretty straightforward, took a couple hours total (which included trip to the parts store). If I had to do it over, I could do it much quicker.
Calipers (painted black) Brackets Rotor size difference (c4 on left, c5 on right) Caliper and rotor removed (time to clean up the hub before reinstalling the new rotor) Bracket installed C5 caliper, abutment bracket, pads put together before installing Altogether before hooking up brake lines Bleeding the brake lines I guess it's time to bleed the back ones, too, huh? Peek-a-boo Sorry there are so many pics, but I thought some other people might like to see some of the steps. Feel free to ask any questions. Matthew |

93 -
Thanks. I think it looks 100 times better. I still have to do the rears. Bogus - My buddy is a corvette mechanic and he gave me a set of low mile used rotors and pads from a c5 take off (his customer upgraded). They are factory AC Delco. The stopping power is so much different it's ridiculous. Best upgrade I've done (the few I've done so far). Matthew |
