They dont just bolt on. You need the rotor,spindle and caliper. You should just wait until I get the C5 brakets done and put those on. They will bolt on the stock spindle with minor mods.

Question Re: ls1 brake upgrade
I have a question about this.
I have a 97 Z28 with the stock 16 on it.
245/50/16
If I do the C5 upgrade I will have to replace the rims right?
Thanks,

Chris.

Yes you will have to upgrade to 17 or bigger rims for the C5 brake setup.
