Default C5 rotors with LS1 Calipers? whats the bottom line here???

i know what you all are gonna say,,, SEARCH BUTTON!!!! ive allready tried and every thread allways gets jacked by some other discussion (C5 vs. LS1 calipers mainly).

What i really need to know is who sells brackets that will allow me to use the larger C5 rotors with my LS1 caliper? I love a good brake system debate as much as the next guy but Im not interested in using a C5 caliper regardless of anyones opinion of how superior they are to LS1 calipers or any other brake alternatives at all.

LG was the only one that I know of that is meant to use ls1 calipers with C5 rotors. Most others I thought were meant to be used with the c5 calipers.

I believe both of those are intended to be used with C5 calipers from looking at them. Whether or not you can use the LS1 calipers with them or not, I don't know.

Do a search on Mitchntx's posts. He's made various posts in the past that explain many different combinations going between both caliper types with and without the various brackets and going between rotor types.
