I have a set of stock LT1 calipers & hoses. Do you just need the calipers or do you also need the spindles? I can post some pics of them if you wish. I had to hack up the stock spindles to fit the C5 bracket adapters, but I could get some other spindles if you need them.

not sure. I know that the use of C5 brakes will require 17" or larger wheels (and maybe not all 17 inchers will fit). I'm going with 18". I believe LS1 brakes required a 16" at bare minimum (I know my 16" LT1 wheels just clear the LS1 brakes). So the LT1 brakes will fit 15" and larger wheels.
You may be able to get by with LS1 brakes (will require you to get LS1 spindles and calipers) but if you just want to put the LT1 style back on, I'm willing to trade ya. And I would only want your calipers, to save you on shipping. I already bought everything else, so you'd still be able to sell your spindles, C5 adapters and abutment/caliper brackets. Let me see if I can get some more LT1 spindles. I sold my extra set not too long ago and hacked up my other set for the C5 brakes.
