C5 Vette front brake conversion?
I got to thinkin...
C5 Vette brakes on the front of my '98 SSEi. :thinker:
I went to a pick-a-part and it looks like the '01+ Monte Carlo uses a front hub/spindle that will both mount to the stock strut and allow the use of C5 Vette (or SS/WS6) front calipers.
Has anything like this ever been done?
Also, with this swap, I could possibly use F-body carriers which have the 5/4.75in bolt pattern, versus the stock 5/4.50in bolt pattern. But what about my rear drums? Hmmm...
Anyone have any good ideas or resources? Anything is appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
