I bought a 2012 C6 for the LS3 to put in my 1970 Judge. Is there any logical way for me to use the brakes from the C6 on the judge? I'm going to be getting a new rear for the car and I'm not sure if I will use a 12 bolt or have a 9" built for it yet, that is up in the air right now. I will be using a coil over conversion on it, but I don't think that affects the brakes.

You will need a front hub for a slip style rotor and the mounting brackets. Both can be purchased from Tobin at kore3.com. He's very knowledgeable and also a contributor to the site.
As far as the rear brackets, I would wait until you decide what rear you are using before purchase as the ends will be different. Give Tobin a cal, he will definitely be of help.

Great thanks. I looked at their site the other day but didn't see anything except for stuff for big cars like impalas.

GMSS(short spindle) would be your stock application

Another vote for Kore3, Tobin is awesome to deal with. I just put front/rears on my cutlass. Make sure you plan your wheel setup though. Not all 17/18s wheels fit (spoke/caliper clearance).

Thanks guys. I haven't made a decision on wheels yet. I would really like 20's and 19's, but I'm trying not to spend much there. I am trying to find a reasonably priced 20 for the rear with a nice deep dish that isnt too expensive. Not easy. I also have to restore the entire car so this will be a lot all at once. Well....kind of at once. Of course I can't restore it and do all this work in a short time.

Actually I love your wheels and they are exactly what I want, but I want them in a 19 & 20 one piece with a deep dish. That's not asking too much is it?!?
I see your in Jacksonville. I'm down in Daytona.

I don’t think you will get much deeper than that without narrowing the rear end and ordering custom wheels which will be expensive.

I used these 18’s, look like the same wheel.

I've found some 20's, but no 19s. I think 18's and 20"s would look weird, so I may have to stick to 18's all around.

Good choice.

I'm eyeballing these, but the backspacing isn't ideal. They have an 18x9.5 but with a 5.25 backspacing.

I'm hoping to run something like a 295 rear and a 255 to a 275 in the front.
Same goes for the US Mag. Largest they have is an 18x9 with a 5.31 backspacing.

Late response but the 18x9.5 with 5.25" BS will work as that is 0 offset.
