Has anyone put 98-02 f-body front brakes on there car? I'm on a tight budget and I was tossing the idea around today with a buddy of mine. So has anyone done this and if not ya think it's possible?

I looked at a number of options for putting C4 or C5 Vette or 4th Gen Camaro brakes on mine. The biggest issue I found is you have 16" or larger wheels for clearance. You need to make a clearance gauge and check the side clearance to the rim too. SSBC has some fitment templates, on their web site. You have to use the one from the SSBC kit that closest matches what you are trying to do.

Go to Pozzi Racing and scroll down to the brakes section or cheap big brakes. This is for 1st Gen Camero's which are exactly the same as our 3rd Gen Nova's. He has a ton of information on several types of conversions.

They have everything from complete kits to mounting brackets. They're very helpful if you have any problems.

13.5" C5 fronts with an 18" wheel.


You will have to run 16" or bigger wheels for any of the late model Camaro/Corvette brakes to work.

A few years ago I bought a bracket from speedtech to mount c5 brakes. Don't know if they sell them anymore. On the pozziracing site I think the have a templet to make a bracket for the camaro brakes

Now that you say that, there was somebody making a bracket to fit the PBR caliper to a stock brake set up. I saw it a few years ago and i can't remember who.

would the fronts work if i did the 12" breaks and i am runnin 15x7 corvette rallies?

Baer brakes has a front kit called serious street. It utilizes the stock rotor with a 2 piston pbr vette caliper. If I remember right it will even fit behind the 14x7 SS wheels.
