Formerly known as "Bob Bishop's Brake Brackets" and now known as F-Body TrackBrackets, these brackets adapt the complete 5th generation Corvette (C5) front brake system to any 1993-2002 GM F-Body. The brackets are CNC machined from a solid billet of 6061 aluminum in a T6511 temper/post treatment and are then anodized. The kit includes the left and right hand adaptor brackets, all necessary non-factory mounting hardware, and complete step by step installation instructions and a list of necessary tools.

The brackets have been tested by an independent laboratory for ultimate strength. The brackets sustained a load of 22,900 lbs. and still did not fail. That is the weight of more than 6 complete F-Body automobiles on one bracket. Most competing brackets are .375" thick (some are even thinner), whereas our bracket is .600" thick. Each bracket weighs only two pounds.

ADVANTAGES TO RUNNING A C5 FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM:

• Obvious cosmetic advantages.
• The C5 rotor is 1" larger in diameter than the LS1 rotor and 2" larger than the LT1 rotor. This provides increased mechanical advantage in braking as well as greater heat sinking capability.
• C5 rotors are directional. There is a left and right hand rotor because the internal vanes are curved like a fan. They pump air from the center of the rotors to the outer edge. This greatly increases cooling in high stress use, increasing rotor life and minimizing brake fade.
• The C5 caliper has full width stiffening ribs and is pressure cast. This increases the life of the caliper and the firmness of the brake pedal.
• There are over 25 different brake pads available for the C5 caliper. You can easily find a pad for your application and price range.
• The components are all DOT legal, and serviceable at any Chevrolet or most other GM dealers. If you sell your car, you don't have to convert back to the OEM brake system.
• The C5 front brake system is fully compatible with the factory ABS system.
• A great majority of 17" wheels will fit the C5 system without the need for spacers.
