NO. The last batch of brackets is at the anodizer’s and will ship by the end of the week. They are all pre-sold to Kevin the owner of FRRAX.com. A few days ago he had one set left, but it is probably gone by now. You could check with him.

The LS1 front rotor is 1.26” x 11.8”. The C5 is 1.26” x 12.8”.

To answer your question precisely, No, C5 calipers will not mount directly to LS1 steering knuckles.

Even if I use the LS1 rotors, rather than the C5?

The C5 caliper system cannot mount to the LS1 steering knuckle without modifications. It makes no difference whether or not there is a rotor on the car.

What modifications? What are the issues? Dimensional?
