Yes, but the calipers in the stock location won't work with the larger rotors. You will also need 17" rims ....

I have 18's. Where could I buy some conversion brackets then? Do they even make them?

You would need to do the C5 brake conversion, sonsisting of new calipers, custom brackets, etc.

Do a search for Bob Bishop for the brackets.

I have the LG setup and love it. They are cheaper then the bob bishop brackets and with the LG you dont have to cut the spindle.

You left out a word. With the bob bishop brackets, you will need to cut your spindle. With the LG kit, you will not have to cut you spindle.

Give Louis a call. If you have the C5 front rotors, all you'll really need are the LG brackets to relocate the stock caliper. You can opt for C5 calipers as well, but they're not required.

So the pair of brackets cost $250? **** that, I was thinking of going with the Z06 brake upgrade but it will have to wait.

Yep they cost $250. I have the kit and I love it. If you dont want to spend a ton of money on big brakes like (Wilwood,Brembo,Stoptech,Porsche) this is the best kit out there.
