Ok trying to match the front end somebody has to have a solution to retain the parking brake on the standard size rotor I'd imagine. Thanks GC

No but I will

GC stock rear c5 will work with the adapters Dominic has

I just have trouble with the $700 then having to cut and mod things. I am working out a solution to use the 87 adapter then you need the 87 wilwood kit..

I will have more info for my rear set-up in a few weeks.. Using C6 calipers

It never got installed but here is what I had come up with..

First off the 87 Brake adapter needs to be machined to fit on the 89-later rear knuckle. I have a set that are machined. There is a thin spacer (I forget if it goes against the knuckle or elsewhere in line, I need to look again. The adapter and spacer give you the same depth as the OE Caliper mount on the 89-later

Now you have options for the Caliper assemblies:

OEM 87 stuff
Wilwood 87 later kit
C5 Caliper adapter brackets (Source on eBay), rotors and modified 87 brake shoes to fit the C5 rotors along with C5 Calipers. I forget which rotors will work, but I bought a set.

I actually have a set fo Brembos (big 4 piston calipers) that could be used on the rear, with 2 pc rotors and I have the correct hats with drum in them. I think the Brembo Calipers are a bit too big for me, but if you had a bigger front caliper these would work fine. I even think my 2 pc rotors will work with the Wilwood brackets and Calipers. I never finished mocking it all up, I think it could be done fairly easy, I think WV offered to send me a Knuckle to mock it all up..

I was going to do Brembos front and rear, but swapped for the 6 piston Wilwoods in front and sold the front Brembos.. just never did anything with the rear
