Just got my C5 Corvette Disc Brakes and calipers the other day!! I got them from discbrakesrus.com. Man! these things are nice! i highly recommend these guys, as i know some of you have already purchased from them. They were real nice and helpfull and took a lot of time out to talk and help me out. Also they gave me a deal, which i am sure anyone else can get; loaded calipers and baskets, with pads and all the clips and hardware assembled everything Brand new(not remanufactured) all powdercoated and 13" crossdrilled and slotted rotors, for $600 with free shipping. It was well worth it and i am glad i did not go the junkyard route! Check out some pics on my webpage, the camera really didn't get the right color of the calipers they are more of a true/dark blue, they look turqoise in the shots;

I will be updating my site soon with instructions and pics of how to adapt these brakes easily to a second gen F-body using the stock spindles in about a week or two

Those look awsome! what are you going to put them on? I have a 2000 C5 and have been looking for a set of cross-drilled & slotted rotors. My calipers are already powder coated red so I don't need those.

Keep us posted on your progress.
Baer brakes has this setup but they will not sell individual pieces and they want like $1700 for the entire front setup. They make the correct hubs so you can bolt the rotors right on your stock spindles or maybe you have to use b-body spindles but they make a kit for the second gen f-body. They make all the pieces but will not sell them individually. Pieces like the caliper mounting bracket, hub assembly ect, ect.
Do a search for C5 brakes on this site. A few have made hubs by using the stock rotor and machining off the disc portion just keeping the hub assembly and bolting on the C5 rotor.
