NOTE: To use these with 1993-1997 F-Bodies you will need to use 1998+ F-Body spindles and 1998+ Fbody calipers.
More horsepower means you need more brake power. However, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get more brake performance out of your 1998-2002 F-Body.
With this kit, you bolt on a set of brackets that move your stock calipers further out allowing you to use the larger C5 Rotors.
The physics is simple, it is like a lever. The further away from the center pivot point you apply pressure, results in more force (stopping power) from the the same original amount of pressure (no caliper upgrade needed). Night and day difference in stopping power for a fraction the price of other brake upgrades.
OUR BRACKETS OUR SUPERIOR THAN OTHERS because they are 100% MADE IN THE USA at CMJ Racing, guys who design, make and RACE this stuff for a LIVING. ALSO ours REQUIRE NO CUTTING OF YOUR STOCK SPINDLE which EVERY OTHER KIT on the market we’ve seen requires. Our brackets are 1/2″ steel so durability is NOT an issue.
With this kit you will receive a set of Black Powder coated brackets and all the hardware needed to bolt them on. You will also need the larger C5 rotor which you can buy from us or get at any auto parts store. 1993-1997 cars will first need to have the LS1 spindle conversion performed. You need 17″ rims (OR LARGER) to run these and, as far as we know, the only 17s (and some 18s) that WON’T work are Torque Thrust IIs (and TTII style rims like Boyd’s, Bullit, etc…) as they curve in and require some fab on the caliper. It is your responsibilty to research your rims for fitment.
INSTALLATION IS SUPER EASY… You just pull the wheel, pull the caliper, slide off the rotor, then take the four bolts out from behind the hub, put our bracket up, bolt back in with the bolts we provide and then bolt the caliper on with the bolts and spacers we provide (when the bracket is set right the caliper should drop down from where it was originally and the spacer that is notched is used on the bottom)…
Note: Since the picture was taken we have stopped including washers in the kit as during testing we have found out they are unnecessary and cause a point of flex during temperature changes.
