Re: Wilwood d52 vs Superlite 6R

On my 68 C10 and other hot rods I have used C5 Corvette front discs and 2002 Camaro rear discs with great results.
I sourced the C5 brackets from Custom Works a vendor on this forum. 13" discs.
The Camaro rear discs are 12". Built in e-brake.
That's combo I'm running on my current 80 Camaro project. Yes you need 18" wheels.
But on my 68 I was running 20" wheels so the 13" rotors looked a bit small. So after some investigation I found out that the C5 ZO6 front discs are 14"but still use the standard C5 caliper. I made new caliper brackets spacing calipers out 1/2". They bolted right up.
The plus part about using the C5/Camaro stuff is replacement parts are only as far away as the local parts store.
Having said the above my go to guy for brake advice is Tobin at Kore3.com.
