New cheap big brake idea

[Stupidnewbie]

I've been planning on doing the 13" rotors and C5 calipers on my '68 Firebird for awhile now but I recently stumbled on a possible caliper that would be an improvement over the 2-piston LS1/C5. The '93+ Supra turbo/TT front brakes use a 4-piston caliper that is considered part of the finest braking system to ever be used on a widespread production vehicle. Lots of guys swap these turbo Supra piston/calipers on all sorts of Toyota and Lexus vehicles because of their proven effectiveness.

The C5 rotor and the Supra rotor are very similar. The C5 rotor is 325mm and 32mm thick, while the Supra rotor is 323mm and 30mm thick. The Supra bolt pattern is 5x4.5" so I'm thinking of using the C5 rotor with the Supra caliper. I'll have to adapt the brake lines and figure out a caliper bracket, but other than that can anyone see problems with this swap? I figure the 4-piston calipers will give a bit more bite to the braking and loaded Supra calipers are easy to come by and not expensive. Lemme know what you guys think!
