Default corvette calipers????

Are the calipers on a C5 the same as the C6 calipers, i wanna do the corvette brake conversion with the C6 caliper because i like the lettering better, and was wondering if they where both the same???

From what i understand the c5 and c6 calipers are the same dimensions. the main difference is the c5 are gravity cast and c6 is pressure cast making them less likely to spread or warp. not positive on that info tho.

The C5, C5 Z06, C6, C6 Z51 caliper are all the same, except for the reason that was mentioned above. I'm gathering all the parts to do the same swap you are, and also prefer the C6 caliper.
