C5 or C6 brakes on a 70 nova?

[LowchevyII]

thanks for the responses guys, i really appreciate it and they should be very helpful. I'm thinking about running some 17 in Budnik Tiller 5 wheels. I want to try and mini tub and run a 315 in the back and maybe a 255 up front. I think with the C6 brakes though im going to need to run an 18 inch wheel.

Does anyone also know of a good kit for installing the brakes on the gm 8.5 10 bolt rear?

You can run the 325mm C5/C6 front brakes inside most performance 17" wheels and both the 305mm and 330mm C5/C6 brakes will fit inside 17's as well. Only the C6 Z51 front and C6 Z06 front and rear kit will absolutely require an 18" or larger wheel (and our Hybrid kit, but that's not an option with the AFX spindle). Here's a link to wheel fitment templates for the various sized C5 and C6 brake kits available.

We offer several kits for the early GM 10/12-bolt applications here. Please let us know if you have any questions concerning our big-brake kits.

Tobin, thank you so much for the great KORE3 info. You guys have a lot of great stuff on that site. I'm really anxious for the new year to get here so ill have some spending money again. Christmas is gonna knock me out, so im broke till then. . But i can still make my plans.

I might be of some help...my ongoing buildup has a bunch of information from installing the KORE3 kit to my 68 camaro with 17" wheels and ATS spindles.

Hope it helps!
