I bought some C5 calipers that I want to put on my 1984 Cutlass. What options do I have as far as hubs to use the slide on Vette rotors on the front? Also, is there anyone that makes the brackets to mount the calipers to the spindles?
I'm getting the 13" also. How do I go about using the blazer spindles? Do they need any mods? Whats year parts can I use?Carlola said:PBR should make appropriate rotors calipers and brackets. I have 13" with blazer spindles requires minimum 17" wheel

Stoopud said:A friend did this conversion on a 3rd gen camaro, and the Blazer spindles are not needed and will lead to added costs when the hubs wear-out in the future, as they are substantially more expensive than bearings. Another alternative is to use your stock spindles, bearings, and rotors. All you need to do is cut the rotor surface off of the rotor and use the hat portion for the mounting surface. Stock C-5 Corvette rotors will slip over the remainder of your stock rotors that will now work as a hub.
Even if you don't have the tools it will cost much less to have a machine shop trim your rotors, buy new bearings than it would to buy junk yard s-10 hubs, and you will have a better (cheaper to maintain) assembly when you are done.
