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.

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