I wasted years trying to get them properly adjusted and could never get a solid pedal. Out of frustration after 6 years I swapped to the wilwood D154 caliper WITHOUT the parking brake, and instant solid pedal and better braking feel overall.



      Now, I don't know if the D154 caliper piston area is suitable to run with the C5 piston area, but it's important to make sure they percentages are correct . I would just say stay away form the D154 with integrated parking brake at all cost. Hope this helps.
      Thanks for the info and it’s what I’m looking for as far as advise. Their system for the front is the only one I’ve come across that is a zero offset. It’s something I gotta have unless I step down on tire size which isn’t in my plans!
