LG makes some nice brackets that will allow you to use the C5 rotors on an F-body. Without relocating the caliper, the larger rotors will not fit. You can also reuse the stock F-body calipers and pads with this setup if you want.

Ok cool. I have 2 more questions. Can i install these brackets myself or do i have to have them welded in? Second, should i use the stock C5 brake pads (only 4,000 miles on them) or should i upgrade to hawk pads?

Here is a pic of the LG kit with the DBA gold rotors.

Also if I had to setup down to a 16" wheel or go back to stock it's 6 bolts per wheel. Stock pads will be fine for now. If you decide you want more grip then move to hawk pad.

Hey Jargon:
After purchasing the LG brackets, do you feel that they are worth the $250? Are they really complex and do they look hard to fabricate and are worth every bit of the $250 or what? Thanks.
By the way, nice looking calipers!

Thanks for the super fast reply lol. Yeah I know someone had to design them and everything, still $250 seems steep. $200 huh.. Maybe I need to make some mad connections between now and the time I buy C5 calipers and rotors.. It could happen!
