corvette parts on z-28 Does anyone know if its possable for parts like disk brakes, control arms, rear end, shocks, or any parts from a 1986 corvette to bolt up on a 1999 Z? My buddy has a bunch of stuff new and I can get it for next to nothing. Wondering what I could use to build up this Z28 a little.

its you have crazy fabrication skills...yes. if your paying someone to do it...HELL NO..rear end wise.. why would you put disc brakes from the mid 80s on to a late 90s car? seems like if would probably be a down grade. those brakes only had to stop 200hp...the factory probably never designed them to be able to handle 300+ hp adn teh speeds that come with that..nto to mention the heavier weight of a fbody.

well im new to the domestic scene and not sure what will work with what. I thought people use rear ends from cars dated a while back and since this was froma vett I was thinking it might be somewhat compatable as well as of a decent performance. The rotors are new drilled and slotted. Everything was bought new to upgrade the stock parts on his 86 vett which he sold. Since he does not need them any more I can get them for next to nothing if anything could work.
I see now that it cant, so thanks for the info.
