LS1 - C5 compatibilty question

quick question...if I wanted to run C5 calipers on a 12" LS1 setup (rotor) to clear 16" Z28 wheels, would I just need the conversion brackets and rotors? Are the abutment brackets interchangable, or would I need LS1 abutments, as well? Anything else I'd need?

To run that setup, you would need to following:

-Modified Spindle
-LS1 adapter bracket
-LS1 abutment bracket
-C5 caliper

The calipers are interchangeable on the abutment brackets, but the LS1 abutment can't be used with the C5 rotor and vice versa
