C6 Brakes on LT1

I found a set of OEM C6 Corvette 12.8" rotors, dual piston calipers, pads, and hoses, and I've heard I can adapt them to fit my 1996 Camaro SS. From what I've found, I need to trim the front spindles and get adapter brackets for the calipers. I've seen many different brackets available, but what type is best? Also, do the rear rotors and calipers bolt on, or do I need special brackets or modifications to make it work? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

These are the only engineered and strength tested brackets on the market.



They are currently on special for $211.65 until the end of May 31st and can be found and read about more at the following link.

Our brackets work with both the C5 and C6 brakes.

These brackets adapt the front brakes, but what about the rear? What is involved to make OEM C6 rear rotors and calipers fit the 4th gen F-body?

I recently did Kore3 C5 front brakes with Stock ZR1 17x9 wheels. According to Kore3, C6 bakes would not clear 17" wheels. 97ss Camaro 383 - D1 M6. B.
