Anybody know of a caliper bracket to put these on a 10 or 12 bolt?? I'm not real sure of the original application, the PBR's were on a 9 sec. front wheel drive 4 cylinder Cobalt; the Explorer stuff I got from one of our members. I looked around and couldn't find much about using either setup.
The PBR stuff is super light aluminum with drilled and slotted rotors with the Chevy bolt pattern, the iron Ford stuff obviously needs to be drilled to the correct pattern.

These guys can help you come up with the brackets you need.
They were very helpful for me when i did my C5(PBR) brakes on the Nova and Syclone.

I second that on Kore3. The guy's name is Tobin. He's a good guy, knows his stuff, and will steer you in the right direction whether or not you buy his stuff. His products are first rate. I used his C5 bracket kit on my Camaro.
voo doo,i'm also interested in pbr's,is that front and rear on your wagon,and what yr.? thanks,mat
63 wagon, that will have full CBR treatment and the camaro 12' disc brakes, I haven't found a bolt on disc setup that is worth a crap (except the more - very expensive brake kits) we are working on brackets right now and I should have this together sometime next month, I will post full pictorial when completed
awesome,just what i was thinkin'!will it still work with other spindles and components? i know i'm asking to much to soon,just stoked somebody else is thinking outside "money box" approach, for better brakes for us.

The stock nova spindle and hub are the base line, the CPP drop spindle is also an option' A good friend of my has done this conversion and said the stopping power is tremendous, I have a LS1 powered 4th Gen Camaro and love the brakes. The only draw back is wheels, some 15in wheels have been reported to work with some grinding of the caliper, and you have to watch the wheel mating surface as the caliper protrudes past by about 3/8-7/16 of an inch.
I just snagged a full set of c5 calipers and rotors front and back off of ebay for under $300.
I still need all the related hardware and abutment brackets.
Looks like Kore3 will be supplying the rest of the parts I need.
I already have the ATS AFX tall spindles so Im thinking I dont need anything special to mount the calipers.
I sourced rebuilt camaro SS calipers from my local parts supplier for 269.00 and 120 for 12" rotors (not drilled) but found drilled ones on e-bay for 150.00
