LS1 front calipers with c5 13" rotors?
I understand that the ls1 front caliper is identical to the c5 caliper with the only difference being the way it was cast. (gravity vs. pressure IIRC, along with the c5 logo)
My question is, I have a couple sets of ls1 calipers. I am doing a brake upgrade on the front of my car. If I use the correct upgrade spindle/hub/bracket for a c5 setup, I should be able to use the ls1 caliper instead of buying c5 calipers as they are identical?

im not sure, but i do not think that is the case. if they were the same why insthe adapter bracket a different price and made out of a thicker material on a c5 setup? i think there is a difference im sure edmiller would know

The question was can the calipers be interchanged as they are physically identical.
