C5/C6 brakes with CBR kit what is needed?

[Mephisto]

did some searching, and found plenty of photos, but i didn't really find a "grocery list" of everything needed to do this brake swap.

I know the CBR kit is the bracket, but what else do I need?

Obviously, rotors, pads, and calipers. But is that it??? Possibly new braided lines? I just want to get everything in place so when I tear into the job I don't get half way in to it and find out I need to go to the dealer/parts store to get some small part they don't stock and I have to wait a week before it shows up.

Front or rear?

Renz sells the HD bolts you need for the front. Whatever you do, don't forget to torque those motherfukcers down and use red rtv or yor brakes will fall off. Ask me how I know.

All the lines came with the kit as far as I remember.

You will need anti rattle shims for the brakes as well and some brake grease for the pins/sliders.

whoops! yeah forgot to mention they're for the front. All the posts I've read over the years seem to indicate that the rear disc conversion is more of a "looks than performance" waste of money.

I'll have to hit up Renz for those bolts!

Thanks for the heads up!!!

Not true, Jeremy did a thread awhile back on how all the mods increased his breaking distance and every change from ABS delete, to front F-body kit, to rear disk brakes made a difference in stopping distance.
