Default Will 99 Camaro/TransAm rear brakes fit C6?

I have a 2007 Z51 C6, I want to put 15" rims on it. I've spoke with ECS about getting the new control arm to allow a 15" rim. Their kit comes with a set of brakes but I was trying to reduce the $2000 price by using my TransAms rear brakes that I had ground down to fit the 15" rim. Anyone know if the TransAm/Camaro rear brakes will fit the C6?

There is more to this then just fitting Camaro Brakes, the spindle is made for the Wilwood brakes, so the caliper mount would have to be changed. It will not be a "bolt on" set up.

You would have to take our 15" spindle kit, and have the caliper fabricated on. Not the end of the world, but I do not think you will save any money in the long run if you are not doing it yourself.
