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. |
