Another bad thing about that is wheel bolt pattern.
Yep.... I've considered purchasing a Baer kit for some reverse engineering.

I think the Baer kit would be easier to reverse engineer than SSBC's because they use the PBR caliper vs. the SSBC's custom made caliper.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Me and my old man were looking at the stock spindles that came off my blazer and we think we might could make the c5 calipers work if we did some cutting and bracket making. The deal is finding a hub that will work. I wonder if you could by the hubs from baer. You could redrill a c5 rotor for a 5 0n 5 but the hub is still a issue. We all need to get together on this and make something work for all the money that would be saved.
