Question C5 caliper and stock LS1 brake?

Hello friends,

simple question:
can I put a Vette C5 caliper on a stock LS1 brake without mods?
and the pads?

thanks
Thomas

Not 100% sure but I doubt it. It wouldn't make much difference anyway as the two calipers are very close. A better setup would be C5 rotors with LS1 calipers.

thanks for replay Reiner

I have seen your upgrade on your foto album...
but with vette rotors I need a special bracket - or not?
and it is very expensive....

The C5 calipers looks so nice

Yes you would need a special bracket or at least have the machine work skills to modify the LS1 bracket. I modifed mine because I grew impatient after having brackets on order for two months. I beleive the bracket set was $250.

Actually if you want to race it, the C5 caliper is the way to go... And a better setup would be C5 rotors and C5 calipers...
