i could have sworn we had a brake section on here somewhere. ..will the c5 or c6 vette calipers work on my 98 camaro??? i was looking for a cheap brake upgrade...just wondering...thanks

I think theirs a kit to convert them over. Once you've done that though, yeah your all set. Make sure you have rims big enough to go over the new calipers.

LG Motorsports sells a bracket for $250. They will allow you to use the vette rotors on your LS1 brakes. Downside is that $250 is pretty expensive for two pieces of metal, but other than that, it's pretty much a plug and play.

well if it would work i was planning on buying cross-drilled rotors and use the vette calipers...if it would work

You can bolt the C5 Corvette calipers up to any 98+ f-body. You just need the C5 caliper bracket. If you want the 13" C5 rotors as well, then you will need the bracket from LGM. FYI, you can use either the 98+ f-body calipers or the C5 calipers with the LGM brackets and C5 rotors.

you think using the c5 rotors would be worth it? wonder if c6 calipers will work???

Evan,
aren't the C5 calipers pretty much the same as the F-body LS1 calipers?
From what I've read before, most people get the LGM brackets and just upgrade the rotor.

There is a slight difference to the calipers, the C5 calipers are pressure cast and have cooling fins, whereas the f-body calipers are gravity cast and don't have cooling fins. Also, the C5 calipers have "Corvette" on them of course. The only real reason to run C5 calipers is to better resist caliper spreading for track events.
