Radial mount C5 brake options??
I don't have much experience at this level, just a set of Wilwood 6 piston/4 piston calipers recently
amazing how small the attach point is on these setups, very light
Do all these calipers use the quick change Brembo pads??

The Wilwood's will not all use the same radial mount brackets. To be better able to serve you I'd need to know what caliper you actually have- the number is on it: 120-xxxx.
The full size BSL6 would likely take a bracket from LG, however the BSL6n part found in the stock Wilwood factory kits will use another. In part due to the body size but also the mount height relative to what size OD rotor you are using. You might also want to get with me about "the remaining parts" to the factory kit and just finish what you have now if they are the 6n model. Hard to say if you're dollars ahead on final cost vs an outright purchase- depends on what you paid for the calipers....
Pads for either of them can be had in numerous compounds from both Wilwood as well as other mfg's. I carry about 8 compounds for both- list on the Pad Page in the Products drop down. All prices include shipping.
Let me know if there's anything I can help with.

I currently have the LG brackets for the SL6 and stock rotor up front. Does anyone make a similar bracket so I can run either a 4 or 6 pot in the rear on stock rotors? I'd prefer to run the same style 7420 pad in rear as the fronts.
