Ok... I just did this, so I can give some decent advice. The LT1 and the LS1 have slightly different spindles since the rotor on the LT1 is slightly smaller. In BOTH cases you will be cutting BOTH ears. The ears hold the calipers, hence, iriversable changes. Now, the holes of the C5 kits can all accept camaro brackets and calipers, but it's not interchangeable between each other (calipers and brackets of corvette and camaro). The CTS-V does not fit on 17's. The C6's do not either. Anyways, changing spindles from lt1 and ls1 is pointless, since cutting is still nessisary. As for setup, it's your call. Mine cost me 750$ for full conversion including upgraded brakes and rotors on C5 calipers. It took 4 hours with torch and cutting drill.
