Default LG Motorsports C5 brake conversion brackets?

Does LG Motorsports still make their C5 brake conversion brackets? I was looking on their website today and didn't see them.

LG doesn't require cutting of the spindle and can use the F-Body caliper on the C5 rotor (preferred IMO).

They should also fit under a stock 17" rim, correct? Without any spacers or grinding required.

The Founders brackets don't mention required cutting....? Wonder if that was just left out of if it's not required.

Founders will require cutting the corner off the spindle. I'm not sure of how the LG Motorsports brackets mount, but all of the other brackets on the market will require cutting. We also offer the bracket, and our friends at WS6Store have created a complete package.

The LG ones will let you use GTO calipers. That's what I use.

They're Identical to a C6 Caliper but they don't have Corvette cast into them. I think they look better that C5 or F-Body calipers.

Nice. So do the LG's require cutting?

I like that the GTO calipers don't have the corvette cast.
