Default 05 C5 vette calipers on a 03 silverado???

Has anyone tried to do this? Will it work? I already have the calipers, if not I can let them go for a good price

I thought about doing that but It is only a 2 piston caliper in the front. you already have a two piston up front. I don't know the size of the pistons on either but I dont know how much better it could be. Its designed to stop a 3300lbs car, while your brakes are designed to stop a 5000lbs truck with a trailer. I am going to guess that the truck calipers would be stronger, but that is just a guess. Now the c6 zo6 6 piston calipers are another story. Those things are bad ***. I'd like to do a set of those! I love the fact that they have a 6 brake pads per piston, that is bad ***.
