If you are using C5 front rotors, you will need C5 conversion brackets in order to properly fit the calipers. (UMI, LG, Trackbrackets and Kore3 are some companies who make them). You will also need 17" rims. I would not use C5 calipers on F-body rotors. They have a smaller piston, and would give you less braking force; giving you a rear brake bias.

P.S. You might have better luck with responses in the Suspension & Brakes section
