ls1 brake conversion
I'm looking to upgrade to the LS1 brakes and I need a set of brackets for the swap. I there anybody that could produce them for me, or is there a place local to Fayetteville, NC could make them for me? Any help would be great. Thank you in advance.

There is another company that makes the LS Brake stuff, but I won't mention them since I see thread after thread about how slow he is to send stuff. But I've never seen a thread complaining about www.bigbrakeupgrade.com.

Re: ls1 brake conversion
Their bracket looks a little funny, it only has 3 holes instead of 4. is there a bolt that goes all the way through?

Re: ls1 brake conversion
Maybe the bottom of the calipers slip under the actual bracket & hooks in that they fit in & only 1 bolts holds them up top?
Looking at the C5 kit, it shows 4 holes. Maybe the LS1 bracket pic was put up by accident of an unfinished product & nobody has noticed?
Ask the manufacturer for certain either way.

Re: ls1 brake conversion
I email'd them and it is an unfinished set of brackets. They drill the fourth hole when it is ordered.
