Default Rear C5 conversion?

I know about the front conversion, but is there a C5 rear conversion? I've searched and can't find anything
relevant....

I've seen it a few times, you could search in the road racing section. You won't need larger calipers in the rear unless your really doing some serious road racing.

C4 rear brakes are fine. The C5 stuff is very similar to the C4 stuff as far as caliper specs. Dealing with the parking brake will be a pita.

I would say unless you have exceeded the abilities of the stock rear brakes to leave them alone.

I guess from the previous posts you are talking about the c5 brks not a conversion to the rear mounted trans that c5 has wich would be difficult if not impossible. Although it would shure balance out the car
