I’m stoked to say the least and the install is going well

What is the process of installing the c5 brakes , do you need to change the master cylinder ,brake lines, or anything else. Been thinking of doing this also.
Bye the way they look good peeking out behind those wheels.

There are two paths - machine the stock rotors down to hubs and use the stock spindles with mods for adapter brackets like Steve did, or swap in a set of 98-02 Blazer knuckles that take a packaged hub/bearing assembly. Both paths take money and/or a sharp eye at the boneyard for used parts.

I can't refind the thread that has the C5 adapters for the Blazer spindles? Now I'm wondering if a Corvette hub would fit a Blazer knuckle too. . .

I think it was your thread Jake, I've been binging since I signed up and couldn't recall where I saw it, thanks! Also just realized these have the Corvette/Camaro lug pattern so that blows the cheap used wheel market wide open. Sorry OP for the derail.
