I can get a great deal on C5 brakes and was wondering if they would fit on LS1 Fbody spindles??

thanks!

Not directly, but a guy named Bob Bishop (lateapex on the board) sells brackets that will adapt them to LT1 spindles, and LG Motorsports sells brackets to adapt C5 brakes to an F-body. I have the LG brakes.

I have the LG kit also. I think the brackets alone are in the $400 range. They are the most expensive part of the kit.

Awesome brakes though...

Is it just me or is $400 for a pair of brackets a little much??? unless they are solid gold, I cant see a set of caliper adapter brackets actually being worth $400

I have the LG kit, and I think it was $600 for rotors, Z06 calipers, and brackets. I really like the brakes. I almost sure the brackets are less the $400, call LG and find out.

From what I hear the Bishop packages is good too.

I am quite certain that my lt1 car with the abs deleted and ls1 brakes all the way around will stop better in any situation, that any of your cars with c5 brakes on it. I think that that converion is a waste of money.....just my .02 didnt mean to offend anyone just think that 400 bucks for brackets is rediculous.

They certainly don't look like much.

But, have you priced billet T6 Aluminum? and the costs associated with custom CNC machining?

It can get damned pricey
