Has anyone done a rear c5 conversion?
« on: February 22, 2013, 02:31:26 AM »
I've got Wilwoods for the front of my truck, but would like to upgrade the rear with something bigger. I've been searching the web, but haven't seen anyone with an actual post of a c5 rear brake swap. I've read about a few, but they are kinda vague. Has anyone here done it, or saved a post online that shows it??

I've got a NEW KORE3 C5 rear brake kit for sale. It's been sitting in my cabinet since I decided to stick w/ the Explorers' 11-1/2" discs. Anyways.. All it needs is rotors, calipers, abutment brackets (caliper brackets) & one of the main brackets needs to get remade or purchased (I used it for mock up on something else & welded some of the holes). If you're interested in installing C5 brakes in the rear you can get this kit a lot cheaper from me... I paid somewhere around $300+ when I got it 5-6 yrs ago. I'm just not going to use it & I'd like to see it go to a good home.  I think I've still got the drum-in-hat parking brake shoe, too. I'll throw those in. I'd let the kit I have go for $180 shipped. I should have the instructions w/ them, too.. so those go w/ to help you out. PM me if you're interested.

What's all included? sounds like you're paying $180 for one  bracket, just saying.

I was asking $200 on Craigslist but I'd like to see the kit gone to a good home. Here's what you'd get. The calipers/abutments & rotors were sold a while back.. that's why they're X'ed out.

He backed out... Sooooo, anyone that's interested in the kit it's still here & the price, including shipping, is still $180.
