I looked at the C5 brakes also but have stock rims and not enough money to get the rims I want right now so I went with the next best thing. Im happy with the brakes but still want the rims. oh well.

Slicks/Skinnies generally come in 15"...

LS1 fronts barely fit inside 16" salad shooters. I would have to say they won't fit inside a 15" skinny.

For LS1 brakes you gotta grind the caliper for the front runners,you can run front runners though, I know atleast 5 cars doing it. Just takes a little work. The smallest rim you can run on a C5 is 16, thats why you see the nasty fast C5/Supra/Viper guys running CCWs.

Bogarts will fit inside LS1 and LT1 front and rear brake setups without issues as other rim manufacures rims. I should know, I designed them to fit. email me if you have further questions.

I would strongly advise not choosing the C5 brake combo as your going to have problems getting 15 inch rims to fit. There really is an extremely limited choice to make.

Bogarts are the lightest setup around right now total weight savings of approx 18 lbs over centerlines and 10 lbs over prostars.

After you are done doing the LS1 Brake upgrade on an Lt1 car, Do you need to get an Alignment Job done to your car or is it not needed?

Thanks,
