You need C5 Brake adapters (see UMI)
Then you need the C6 Calipers, brackets, Rotors, Pads and 18" (minimum) diameter wheels.

Are you wanting to swap over the rears too? If you are im interested in seeing how this works. Im assuming the C6 corvettes have the same e-brake system as our cars do, but i wonder if its the same size.

Too bad about the 18" wheels, those calipers are sexy!!! They kind of remind me a little of some AP's and Wilwoods I've seen.

yeah hopefully the rears aswell if not i will prolly go with wilwoods in the back lol lil mismatch but they work amazing. ps..what about my brake booster? 6 pot brakes are gonna be using alot more volume than my stock set up will it be ok or should i look for a upgrade for that aswell? thanks guys

I would think once its bled out and filled correctly i dont think there would be a problem with not having enough capacity to push the pistons out since its a hydraulic system it will transfer pressure uniformly. I have heard from another forum that after that install you will have more bias to the front since the size went up, because you will have a stock porportioning valve for the rears, but i think that would be easy to fix. Only problem i could see is when you go to change pads and compress the pistons back in is not having a big enough resivor to hold the extra brake fluid that comes back into the sysrem.
