Ok i was installing my LS1 rear brake setup this weekend and i ran into a problem
i think i know what the problem is but im hoping someone can confirm it for me
when i go to bolt the caliper bracket/caliper on it doesn' fit, it hits on the roter.. and after looking at it i think the place i bought disks from sent me C5 rear disks instead of fbody ones
these ones seem to have 3/4 - 1 inch back spacing and i think the fbody ones should be more than that.. can someone confirm if they have ls1 rears if there should be more backspacing than this? if so i need to get ahold of the company asap to get this straightened out

An here is a quick pick of the rear, of course i cant bolt the caliper up since it hits the rotor :rant:
but i had to see how it would sit
i have belltech leafs and 1inch blocks, i was actualy expecting it to sit lower but i guess it still might settle a bit still, and the rims are hyper black 18" c6 z06's tho thats a bad pic and they almost look chrome in the picture
And i still need to finish doing my C5 front conversion, before its back on the road
my truck hasn't spent more than a few mins on jack stands until now..
im afraid its starting to like sitting on jack stands and that scares me :lol:
