UPDATE: LT1 - C5 Brake Conversion ....
... is another step closer to reality. 
The latest model adapter bracket is currently being tested and are they a piece of CNC art. (I got to see, and hold, one last week when I met up with Bob at Road Atlanta)
And the C5/Z06 brake parts supplier has come in at just under 500 bux.
... so before the month of July is over, there should be another outlet for this affordable brake upgrade.

I recently did the LS1 brake upgrade.. I love it... But i always wanted the C5 upgrade. At the time it was almost 1000 dollars so 250 bucks for LS1's with braided lines was a good deal.
The C5 brake setup would be so insanely popular if it hit under the 700 dollars range.
Who the hell is going to pay 2000-3000 for Wilwood or Baer if u can get ones just as good for around 700?
Run a special too for the first sets
So all us loyal C5 brake advocates can say some more good things about them
