C5's have the same calipers as F-bodies in regards to bolting it in. I've heard the casting material/process is different on the C5 calipers though (stronger). You can re-use your F-body calipers when doing a C5 brake conversion, or you can upgrade to the stronger C5 calipers if you are going to be abusing your brakes and want a little more time before the calipers warp/fail. I could be wrong about the stronger part though. They could be lighter and stronger, or lighter and weaker. I do know the only difference is in the material/casting.

Found a great price on front/rear calipers off of a wrecked 2004 Comm. Edition Z06.
Parts that should be here this week:
Front/rear cross drilled and slotted rotors
Front/rear C5 Z06 calipers
Front/rear pads
I'll track down the adapter brackets this week.
