C6 Caliper Fitting Are the brake line fittings on the C5 caliper and the base C6 caliper the same?
I am doing a conversion to the Corvette brakes for my 01 Camaro and I'm using base C6 calipers. Wasn't sure if I needed C5 or C6 front brake lines?

Now I've got another question:
I was planning on using C5 anti-rattle springs (guess I was going to have to buy the C5 pads), but now after some searching I'm not sure if the base C6 front calipers even have anti-rattle springs?

Are you talking about the shims that go in the pad abutment bracket that the pads slide into?
The base C6 calipers *should* have those as well. I know for a fact that the C5 calipers utilize these and I don't see why the base C6 brakes wouldn't.

No, I was talking about the springs that would snap into the bridge of caliper.
I actually talked to Tobin from KORE3 about this and he said,
"The C6 front calipers do not use the anti-rattle springs that snap up into the bridge of the calipers, only the pad abutment shims at the ends of the pads."
