Default C5 rear calipers on a F Body??Will they work

I got a buddy that's hooking me up from my local GM dealer for my C5 Zo6 rotors and was wondering if the C5 Z06 red (( rear)) calipers will bolt up to my 02 camaro too? Im not upgradeing the rotor size and can get em for practically nothing or am i gonna get stuck paying to have em powder coated to match the new fronts ? LOL!!Thanks guys, Seems everyone i ask isnt sure

Only difference I think is how they are cast compared to the stock f-body calipers. Won't be much of an upgrade in braking but will be red

The Corvette calipers are pressure cast not gravity cast, it makes for a stiffer stronger unit. So besides being look-at-me RED! they are a better caliper. Concidering what it will cost to get the stockers power coated and rebuild! your better off just getting the C5 units for sure.
