donor brakes/calipers?

[dannyho]

ok, just curious if anyone is able to list cars that come with excessively large brakes from the factory. 13 inch or larger is what i would consider excessively large. I know theres corvette, and the SRT charger/magnum/Ram, the AMG mercedes. But the purpose of this is to get a feel for possible donor cars if I were to fabricate/machine brackets myself, so no supercars please. thanks in advance.

I'm in the middle of a 13" C5 Corvette swap into my Monte, and it seems to be rather reasonable. I see you may have a B body Mopar (I also have a 70 Roadrunner I converted to front disks), but if you get the major components, you can then mock up and machine the neccesary brackets for an affordable big brake kit. Good luck!

how do you know when calipers from a car who originally came with 12 inch rotors will work on a 13 inch rotor? this is the case with the corvette right? A lot of cars come with nice brembo calipers from the factory, porche 944, infinity, subarus, it would be nice to know if these could be used on a larger rotor.

The C5 came with rotors that are around 12.8 and the Z51 came with larger rotors and the same calipers.

Trailblazer/SSR calipers are similar to C5's. I got a complete set of four for about $100 off eBay. I have not had them side by side with C5 calipers for comparison, but the fronts should definitely work with my 13X1 C4 rotors.
