Can you post dimensions on the bracket, for the DIYers?

I'm in for a bracket set. This will bolt into stock bracket location, but allow the usage of the C5 Corvette calipers?!? That is awesome. I was going to source some olds Brembos and find a fabricator to make me a set, but if you know these will work count me in!
FYI, I saw your car on Spec-Ops FB, lookin' pretty sweet

My car is on FB? I am not even on FB.

Yeah, these brackets will allow everything to bolt directly on. No hassles.

Sweet, count me in! When do think they will be fabricated. I'm going to in the market for brake upgrades within a month I hope. So as soon as these are available PM, I pick up a set and hold onto them until I source everything else.
I was looking on ebay and all 4 corners can be had brand new for $400; now that's what I'm talking about!!!

They should be ready by next Wednesday or so. They will definitely be on the car early next week.

Front and rear, or just the front?

I don't plan on doing the rear. I am likely going to find a 2-piston caliper that works, bolt it on, and call it a day. The ***** is going to be finding P/N's for the pads. The fronts are stock Corvette pads. The rears...who knows...

What are you thinking of for rears, something to fit in the current bracket (maybe slightly modified) or getting custom brackets there as well.
To be honest, for $400 it might be worth it to do all 4 corners, that is one hell of a deal It's not like $2K for Front and then another $1.5K for Rears. Yeah some of the prices going around are ABSURD!!!

They won't be as easy to work with, back there. I will take a look at it, though. I will let you know. I am taking it in on Monday, so I will know something then. This shop has another set of Corvette calipers. We can try and mount it up.

The rears look like 2 piston for the C5, if that matters. Just a matter of how close are their mounting points relative to stockers?; if it's similar to the front
Keep me informed, and send me a PM when they are available, thanks!

Oh well, ill trade 17in wheel for BBK any day! Hope this budget BBK works out!
Robispec has a kit that is reasonably priced that allows 17" to be used.
