Re: Stall or cam

Thats correct, I hear some guys say the pad only wears 3/4 of swept area on the rotor thus creating uneven wear and a ridge on the rotor

That's a shim problem, not a rotor or caliper design problem. Mine, and a friends 2002, sweeps uniformly......with standard LS calipers..

I'm using stock uprights from a 2002 trans am, stock caliper brackets and stock caliper...I had the calipers powder coated red and rebuilt them, bolted my stock wheel bearing/hub assembly to it and haven't had a bit of problems since....

Re: Stall or cam

Which bracket are you using to push the caliper out to fit the larger c5 rotor?

I use the stock LS rotor. Now I see your question..

UMI make a decent conversion but I have no experience. You might get better answers in the brake forum...

Re: Stall or cam

Just an update here. I've have made the choice to go hot cam and 3600 stall and im seeing if I can budget a used 12 bolt at the same time. ( after seeing a friends car wipe out his spider gears last weekend at the track, car makes about the same power as mine)
After getting some install prices from local and not local guys I decided ( well Ive become really possive over my car lately ) im doing the work my self. I cant trust anybody lol I found a garage I can rent for $200 a month. ( lowest estimate on a cam install was $700) So you can see where I getting the money to rent a space. PLus I can do side work out of the garage ( mostly detailing and glass painting) So its a win all over the board
