From my experience, yes. I searched and asked for any info about running the complete set-up on here for about a week and got nothing about running the whole C5 assembly and then talked to the guy at KORE3. The ebrake will work fine when you use the original Fbody PAB. The only advantage is that the C5 caliper is pressure cast and not gravity cast like the Fbody, and it has a larger capacity reservoir behind the piston in the caliper which I suppose equates to more clamping force. If you already have the calipers it is too easy to swap out the rears as well as the fronts. I mean, you still have to bleed the whole system even if you do just the fronts so you might as well do at least the calipers on all four corners.
