Question Z06 brake conversion

03 Z-71? Will c-5 Z06 brake caliper bolt on or will they need a braket? If anyone knows what the combo is for doing this conversion or if there is a kit available i sure could use some info. Thanks a bunch.

I recently saw a write up where they put the 97-04 Corvette calipers on 99+ Grand Am's using 12" 00-05 Impala rotors, 98-02 f-body caliper brackets and f-body brake pads.

alot of the nbs trucks already have 2 piston calipers.... what would be the advantage to the 97-04 z06 calipers?? besides they say corvette on them... are red and cost alot??
