I spent some time in the garage this christmas. My car now has C5 brakes in the front and steel braided brakelines all around
Waiting for spring sucks!!!

Very nice, but wouldn't you rather have Marks "Camaro" decals for the calipers?
Posted by Sweden SS (Member # 1747) on :
No, not really. I think that's just to much work... machine down the corvette lettering, sand, prime and paint the caliper. I guess I'm just to lazy Posted by poSSum (Member # 119) on :
Looks great. Let us know if you notice a significant performance difference
.... and clean those tires

Where'd you get the brackets for the caliper swap?
oh and... Thanks for the plug DaddyO! Posted by Sweden SS (Member # 1747) on :
alfredf00_1673: It's time for some math... 1 US dollar is about 9 swedish crowns. 1 litre of gas is about 9.50SEK. 1 US gallon is 3.785 litres. When I sum it all up I get $3.99 for the gallon. About 50% (4.62SEK) of the price for a litre of gas is energytax and CO2 tax. Swedish taxes suck
Mark IXZD 150: I got the brake adapter brackets from a small local engineering workshop. They are the official suppliers of brackets for the swedish Camaro Cup circuit. They are made from high strength aluminum and cost about $330 (3000SEK) for the pair, including bolts and washers. I never thought of taking a pic of them before I installed them so this is the best pic I have of one...
