Default C5 Brakes again! Only the Rear this time
I picked up a set of C5 calipers from a member on here for pretty cheap and they came with the rear calipers.

What I was wondering was what I need to do to get the calipers to work on my LT1.

The threads I have read here indicate this idea is a wash at best. At worst it is a waste of time.

I don't know how helpful that was. Doesn't look like they got it going either.

Yea, I noticed that, but they also have an LS1 car... I have an LT1.
I thought they were different here too...

You'd need to convert to LS1 rear brakes, then do the swap. Sorry, I missed that you had an LT1 car.
