Anybody seen this kit available from speedway. Looks like a c5 setup? 13" rotors, calipers. 2" Drop spindles. $700
I searched for some reviews but found nothing.

Calipers look like LS1 F-Body which isn't a bad thing.
The calipers look like the cheaper chevy cobalt versions, same look as the LS1 calipers just smaller......skip on these

I see what your saying but I think the rotor/hub photo is cropped with the caliper spindle photo. Compare the hub and spindle size, the hubs appear enlarged. I would just call them before you buy.

Those are definitely not fourth gen (LS1) f-body or C5 or C6 calipers. I don't know what they are however.
The rotor appears to me to be the 13x1.1" C4HD rotor.

Interesting... they look a bit like the calipers I have on my car, which work really well for the price.

I already have the ls1 calipers and 12" rotors. had the drum hubs turned down and drum spindles on the car. Haven't bought the caliper bracket yet. Looking to go to a 2" dropped spindle and still use the ls brake setup. I really was more interested in there spindles and caliper bracket even tho it is for a 13"rotor instead of a 12". anybody know a good place to get a dropped spindle and caliper mount for the 12" brakes. Before anybody asks why not go 13, its because i need to clear a pair of 15" drag skinnies for the times at the drag strip.

Standard height drop spindle: http://autofabcart.net/stockheightspindelsforgmcars-2.aspx
Tall drop spindle: http://www.ridetech.com/store/ridetech-spindles-pair.html
If they are going on a 1st gen Camaro or '68 to '74 Nova then I would suggest this kit: http://www.ridetech.com/store/tru-turn-complete-package-67-69-gm-f-body.html This kit will allow you to run more back spacing on your wheels.
