      good buy?

      Anything wrong with this setup? I'm looking for price and looks. Not racing, just show. I already have drum spindles. which way would you go if any? I have a 68 camaro.

      I like the 13" kit because it will give you bigger rotors and better braking if you are planning on running 17" or larger wheels. I also like the fact that since it is built up of Corvette parts, replacement parts are as close as the local auto parts store and there are about a million different pads available for the C5 Calipers.

      The availability of pads at parts stores is one reason I went with a C6 setup.

      Yeah...big oversight on my part...plus CPP is a reputable company...that's a pretty incredible deal w/ the hubs!

      With hubs, that is a great deal. I will have close to that in my setup and I got my rotors and calipers for a great deal used.

      I originally clicked on the 2nd link and didn't even see the 1st w/ the hubs & 13" rotors...auction ended but going to watch for it to relist, it's a no-brainer.
