ls1 calipers with c5 rotor?

Pretty much what the title says. I was just sitting here thinking I would like to try and go alittle bigger with my front brakes. I right now have ls1 calipers rotors cut into hubs. So I havent bought rotors yet.

But is it possible to use ls1 calipers with the 13' c5 rotors? is there a bracket?

Hmm I know Ed sells kits for C5 caliper on LS1 rotor but I don't know if he has the opposite.

Re: ls1 calipers with c5 rotor?

Yea, it's possible. The C5 and LS1 caliper are pretty much interchangeable (They might take different size bolts...but that might be the abutment bracket, I can't remember). Basically you need a conversion bracket for whatever rotor you run, so the caliper can be located correctly.
