just curious, what's the difference in the C5 setup vs. the LS1?

rotor size? different caliper?

I don't think rotor size is any different, just the offset.

I used a C5 rear rotor as well, so that may have been why I had to do some additional mod's.
For one the bolt size for the caliper bracket to the backing plate is a larger diameter, so I had to drill the backing plate out to accomodate the bolt size.

And probaly due to the combo was that I had to mount the caliper bracket to the opposite side of the backing plate so that the caliper was centered over the rotor.

Re: Rear Ls1 brakes

With this swap, you can still use the ABS right? Do you use your stock sensors or the sensors that the ls1 rotors used?! Thanks ---
