I got a power brake booster and master cylinder out of a 2000 camaro the booster and mastercylinder cost 36 $ at the local upull it yard . Ground off the rivets for the bracket . Removed the bracket from original booster welded old bracket to new booster. Cut pushrod and welded old style pushrod to it .
I can say this isnt a bolt on but a pretty simple upgrade . I have the partial lines with the bubble flair fittings . The plan is to use factory components so if i have a parts failure it easy to obtain parts .I have the bubble flair tool and am running all new brake lines so i can use factory rubber lines hopefully .
Also got some cts v brembo calipers and c6 rotors . However after a few emails with tobin at kore 3 i will get some 2010 camaro ss rotors . By the way if you have any questions regarding brakes tobin at kore 3 this guy knows his stuff and then some .

If anyone wants info on the brake booster swap i will be glad to answer any questions . Its real easy and works with 4 wheel disc c5 and c6 brakes .

When i start on the rotor and caliper conversion i will post pics also using coleman racing spindles i was talking with tobin about a hub for the spindles with 4 3/4 and 2.78 register instead of 5x5 with 3.00 register . i will post pics monday .

It fits very nice and is small so leaves lots of room . I also took a picture of the rear tire 285/35/19 . For the pushrod on the booster i welded the rod ground it down then cut a 3/8 deep socket and sleeved it for added strenth cant be to careful .

4144441443414424144141440I machined my hubs to 5.94 on brake lathe at work and got c6 zo6 rotors i ordered the calipers today . The 14 inch rotors are 68$ each right through gm parts direct . If you have access to a brake lathe and a micrometer machining the hubs is real easy . I was on kore 3 site and was looking at the 13 inch rear c6 vette brakes but not sure yet might just go with ls1 rears any opinions welcomed as to rear brake choice . I was going to do c4 suspension but decided this car needs to be on the road next spring so i will be getting a hold of marcus at sc&c for a stage 2 kit . Also put a pic in of rear tires 285/35/19
