Default C6 brakes

Has anyone been able to put C6 or Corvette brakes on the Monte or Impala? Where do you get the correct caliper brackets? I want C6 Z06 brakes but would settle for C5 Z06 brakes. Thanks for the help

Its a different bolt pattern (W-body is smaller) so I don't see how you'd use the rotors.

I dunno about C6 calipers. But I got C5 on the frt of mine. When I can get a hold of some rear gxp caliper brackets I will have C5 rears on as well.

Do a search. I wrote a whole thread with plenty of pics on here. Think I'm the only one who has C5 calipers on an 07 MCSS on this site.

Monte did you run into any problems with abs lights or anything like that? This might just be my next mod but most experience I have with brakes is just changing out the pads.
