The C5 and C6 knuckles are basically the same from a brake stand point. You can bolt C5, C6, C6 Z51,...

I'll let you know.

Tobin, Great information and much apprectiated. So it sounds like the C4 setup would have less chance of wheel interferance with the deeper rotors. Now I understand the purpose of the Hybrid kits. I know the C5 has more friction area but I would like to better understand the dimensions between the C4 and C5 calipers. With a C5 caliper on a C4 rotor does the C5 caliper sit higher or is it wider then the C4? Also is there such a thing as a...

I can tell you that the car brakes really well now, I've done a few panic stops to see what the car will do and it does not easily lock up, its just stops, it brakes super hard. I tried it in the rain and it still performed really well, no need for a proportioning valve. I have 225s in the front and 275s in the rear, plus they are high performance Toyo tires which means they stick really well...Im sure that helps too, as the car used to...

Im building a 67 Lemans

I will get the info but i believe they are the billet SL6R calipers,im running a 7/8 bore master at the moment with manual brakes. Thanks

I have a hydro boost, works great. No hoses, its all hard line. Till it gets to the wheel, just like any brake system. I wouldnt run flex line for anything but the wheel cylinders. From the pump to the MC it should be all hard line. I have one in use from about...

Thanks for your reply Mike. I see he used a Cobra system, can I use any Mustang with hydroboost, or is that the only one available?
