I have searched - can't seem to find any info about the kit.

Anyone doing the c5 conversion?

You can find general information about the UMI conversion kit on their website. I have attached the UMI instructions for installing their C5 conversion kit in a pdf document.

I actually went with the LG Motorsports conversion bracket instead of UMI's, but UMI was nice enough to email me their installation instructions to give me a feel of how these things install (since LG sends absolutely no instructions). The prospect of doing a C5 conversion was daunting for me at first, but by taking my time and checking out the resources on this website, I was able to do it.

I dont have UMI's kit, but i do have C5 brakes. They are without a doubt one of the best mods you can do for an LT1 car. You having an LS1 wont see as much of a step up as i did. But there awesome. just make sure your running atleast 17" rims up front

I was also told that if you don't wish to modify your original spindle, there is a guy on ebay selling the brackets that allows you to do so,, just fyi.

One of the best mods iv'e done. Lt1 brakes suck. Totally night and day difference. And it's really not that hard to modify the stock spindle.
