I believe Tobin from Kore3 stated over on Pro-Touring.com that he didn't have the brackets to mount a C4 caliper to the g-body spindle. Wouldn't hurt to send an email as he might have them now.

really? that sucks!
Kore3 is a very good company. from what i've seen at another forum KORE3/tobin are very helpful, knowledgeable, professional. unfortunately they do not make brackets to fit a stock g-body spindle. they do make them for the B and F body spindles. i have to check which is worse, in terms of geometry and bumpsteer.

I emailed him and it took about 2 weeks for him to get back to me. So after emailing him back i am still waiting on a reply.... Oh well i got lucky and found them from somebody else who isn't going to do this swap right away and he sold them to me cheap. Maybe this guy needs some help answering his e-mails/calls. IMO this isn't going to raise business and $$ if this keeps happening. oh well
As for the upper control arms what other aftermarket control arms would work with the zq8 spindles and would i have to absolutely use tall upper ball joints. I keep hearing about arms that are cheaper but have no sure way of knowing they would work. here are some i found on ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/G-body-S ... 1e59b66955
would these work?
Circle track suppliers like speedwaymotors.com sell fairly cheap upper arms. You have to make sure you get two rights as the left is longer for a circle track car.

Will those calipers work with the C5 rotors? And are they just as good as buying the ridiculously priced SSBC or PBR calipers?
I'm looking at rotors now. What kind of rotors are recommended for a street car? Regular, Slotted, Cross-Drilled, Slotted/Drilled?
Thanks for any info.
(Also, I think it would help any confusion if someone were to condense the information on what exactly is needed to perform the front C5 SWAP specifically in to one post so any questions could be more easily addressed. Just a thought.

actually, i'll bet that they are PBR--they're the OEM supplier for GM/'vette brakes BTW, i'm not sure they come with the bracket.
for street rotors get regular or slotted ONLY! drilled rotors are meant for the track and should be replaced after each use. they are known for cracking at the holes rather quickly. for pads, you really need to look at what kind of driving you'll be doing. i've heard great things about Hawk HPS pads, and they work well on my DD, and they have different levels from basic street to full race.

you misunderstood me....I was not saying the problems dodn't exist but if they did exist I was wondering why would a company be selling the parts for a conversion and not make mention of the problem. I was not implying that because they sold the parts the problem doesn't exist. Asa far as B spindles I havn't considered using them before now so I don't know much about them other then it is a popular upgrade.
Does anyone know what the difference in length is steering arm is on the G body spindle and B body spindle?. I'm not concerned with bumpsteer issues as we have have a bumpsteer gauge at our race shop.
....if you think I said there was no problem then you need to go back and take another English course- Status
