? About C5 conversion brackets. Ok so i know that the late LG brackets you could still use your stock F-body Caliper and use a larger rotor. is this possible with the UMI or BMR Brackets? Im trying to see if for now i can buy some Z51 Rotors and use my stock Calipers until i get some Z06 Calipers. Anyone know?

hmm. I dont know, it wouldnt make sense then that that LG bracket would fit both, i mean im pretty sure it will work i just wanted to see if someone did it before i ordered everything to be 100% sure!
I just did the UMIs today. The calipers are basically the same, however, the pad abutment bracket is different. Using the f-body one pushes the caliper too far out.
The caliper bolts are also the same, but the c5 pad abutment bracket uses larger bolts.

We recommend to use the C5 calipers with our brackets along with the C5 abutment brackets. Plus the C5 calipers look cool on there 
If you have any questions I can help with please ask.

i have your brackets and i have to say, it appears that the kit will work with a larger Z51 rotor IF we use the f-body abutment brackets. The C5 bracket is actually smaller than the f-body one and brings the caliper to the correct location for C5 rotors, but have you guys tried with the Z51 rotor? It may be a swap i'd be interested in if i decided to get some 18s.

I figured everything out. To use Z51 setup you have to have the UMI brackets, caliper brackets from a 2008 z51 vette with new bolts, z51 rotors and c5 calipers, I will be putting it all on tuesday and will take pics, not a bad way to spend $830 haha
Can you om me when you get this done? thanks.
