Can you do a C5 conversion in the rear too? I was wondering if you can upgrade your rear brakes to C5s as well. I know BMR, UMI, and a bunch of other companies make adapter brackets for the fronts on LS1/LT1 cars but can you upgrade the rears too? Do you need any adapter plate or is it just bolt on? Has anyone done this? Just curious as I've bought a set of calipers/brackets from my buddy's C5. Any help would be appreciated.

No need. C5 rear brakes are very similar to f-body rear brakes. The calipers are about the same size, and the rotors too. While LS1 rear brakes are slightly bigger than LT1 rear brakes, both are totally adequate for 99.9% of users. I don't know of anyone making a kit because there is no performance need.
