Very cool! Did you have to do any modifying to get them to fit or did they just bolt right in?

It requires an adapter bracket to mount the caliper, but that's it. The C4 hose connects straight to the C5 caliper, then I gave it a few minutes to gravity-bleed. It was a two beer... I mean hour... job.

Thanks, I knew something had to be done when I put those new wheels on and they exposed the grubby calipers and rusty rotors for all to behold. So far I've only done the fronts. I have a pair of rear calipers I can install too, but I don't know if they'll need an adapter.

These are the adapter brackets for the front.

They look awesome!

You have more stopping power than you will ever need.

Who did you buy the brakes from?

Thanks - actually my concern now is that rather than merely avoiding an accident with these ultrabrakes, I'll create one when the person behind me can't stop as fast as I can!

Got 'em from a recycler in Florida. Best way to do it since you need a really complete assembly with brackets, shims, pads, banjo bolts, dust seals, bleeder screws, and rotors. Only the hub and hose are used from C4, and all those little parts will nickel & dime you to death if you get them at the parts counter.
