Default C5 Brake Upgrade
Can just the brackets be purchased and the stock F-Body Calipers be used? I know the C5 calipers are supposed to be better, I'm just asking if the swap can be done with the F-Body Calipers and pads.

Yes, LG sells the brackets you need. There are other brackets out there as well that allow you to use the stock caliper with C5 rotors.

Only the LG Motorsports Brackets? or can UMI's work as well?

The UMI brackets are for C5 Calipers only.

These will work also

Are you doing it so you can run the larger C5 rotors instead of the f-body ones?
