Default C5 Brakes?

I was wondering if anyone has put C6 Z06 calipers and rotors on a C5. I already have C6 Z06 wheels on the car. Will the calipers bolt to C5 spindles?

Try a search on corvetteforum, but from what I understand... Yes they should be a direct swap!

So what do you need to install them?
What brackets and lines?
Other then that is it just the calipers and rotors?

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I do have C6 Zo6 Wheels so I would think the front Calipers would fit in the wheels. I found plenty of parts on ebay. I do want the red calipers, think they would look great in the wheel. Just wasn't sure the calipers would bolt to my knuckle.

They bolt up fine and while you're in there you can upgrade to the C6 knuckle (more rigid).
