This is a C4 to C6 Z06 Corvette brake adapter bracket kit. This kit is for 1988 to 1996 C4 corvette suspensions. Kit includes left front, right front, left rear, right rear and parking brake line lock. Including all hardware. *Note to buyers: you must use later style brake lines and a minimum of 18" wheels. This kit does NOT include rotors, calipers or brake lines. There is a $50.00 core charge for your brackets. When I receive your rear caliper brackets, I will refund the $50.00 core charge. **patent pending on front/rear adapter brackets - excluding OEM rear caliper brackets**. Item is listed on ebay for buy-it-now price of $600.00 (item # 110893860320) http://www.ebay.com/itm/C4-to-C6-Z06...ca05e0&vxp=mtr

Impressive... very nice.

I do question the $600 price tag. Reason? C5 adaptors are usually sold in the $100 range, and the rear is a modification.

If this kit was in the $300 range, it would be more acceptable... there are still brakes and apparently, rims/tires, to buy.

Just my .02 on it.

The reason for the price is due to total cost of research/development and materials used plus machine work. There is a company selling the rear ones for $600.00 and does not include the front brackets. My kit is complete with easy to install instructions.

Thanks for your looking and input.

Oh, I fully understand the cost involved... And the product looks absolutely first rate and of excellent quality.

I just don't foresee you making a living off of this kit. Sad, I know... but when a large percentage of C4 owners postpone new wheel bearings because they are expensive, this brake kit will be scary...

Do we know the minimum wheel size required?

Even tho the price is definitely a little steep for the c4 -to- c6 brake adapter kit, being that it allows the working rear parking brake, its worth it. I've yet to see a kit that allows an upgrade to c5, or c6 rear brakes with that. The only ones that do, i.e.., Baer, Wilood, etc. are $2 -3 grand for rears alone. I'd order this kit, & then the stage 2 for $1300. , or even better yet a stage 3 for $2000., from Mid America Motorworks , which the stage 2 comes with cross-drilled Z51 rotors (13.4" fronts, 13" rears) & Z06 calipers. The stage 3 kit ; C6 Z06 cross-drilled rotors (14" fronts, 13.4" rears) ,& (6 piston front & 4 piston rear calipers ) & for roughly $2800 have a crazy brake set-up on my C4! This would really finish the look & fill in the space on the C6 Grand Sport wheels i just bought (18 " front & 19" rear)!

CF360 - I am not debating the functionality. Not at all. I think it is a neat kit, tho over priced... and here is why:

Most C4 owners are not going to spend this kind of $$ on a brake upgrade.

By the time you buy all of this stuff, you are into the brakes, wheels and tires for $5k. To be blunt, 70% of all C4s are worth only $5k.
