ok, i guess your asking if brakes off a vette would fit your car, yeah they probably would, but i don't how much better they would be than your stock one, maybe a little.
IMO you probaly better off just getting some slotted rotors and nice brake pads that are made specifically for your Z28.

they sell c5 brake kits, but you'll need 17" wheels to fit them. Some 17's wont fit, but gm 90-something and up will work.

cheapest site i've found. better than any big brake kit because it's all OEM parts. parts that were tested over and over, and have to meet safety regulations unlike kits. plus, pads/rotor/calipers are a dime a dozen.

switch to ls1 brakes they have dual piston calipers and bigger rotors....... plus they will fit 16" wheels and they are relativey cheap used....... I just swiched mine over and am very happy with them..... they are also drilled and slotted
State, if you plan on running racing wheels, ex. Prostars, Convo, D10s your going to have to grind the **** out of LS1 brakes, its gona be a **** load more work than just keepin the LT1 setup and using slotted rotors.

grinding the breaks down really isn't that bad..... and thats only if you are going to run a big slick on the back......
