Let me think about it...

... LG Motorsport!

When I ordered them a few years ago, they didn't have them on their web-site. Pick up the phone or send an e-Mail-request.

With the LG brackets you can keep your F-Body brake-components, but you have to use the longer C5 brake hoses, because the caliper is being moved down in another position. That different look is something I don't like about the LG-brackets (having the calipers moved downwards).

Also, with the F-Body calipers on the C5-rotors, the brake bias is moved to the front. I think it is okay, because I always felt that the rear axle was "overbraking", but you should know it.

I am sorry, but our bracket must be used in conjunction with the C5 calipers only. Thanks for checking

bmr sells the cheapest brackets
http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyBrakes.htm

150 vs UMI 240

I am not sure though if the bmr will support fbody calipers, but with either the bmr or umi you have to cut the stock spindles

lg motorsports are designed to not have to cut the spindles, and support fbody and corvette calipers, but cost 295

here's the link
brackets

remove everything from the package but the brackets (select none for rotors)
