Caliper piston size is the same between the two calipers. So the bias will not change, You have to use the F-bod rotors, the C5 rotors have a diff offset and will not work. If you are going to put new pads on go with the GM performance ceramic they come with new spring clips and are a very clean pad.

I don't know where you guys get your info but I would double check..
1.) The Vette pad will fit on the the abument brackets on the F-body but you have to shave off some material on the abument bracket where the pad goes up top where the knotches are and on the side of the abument bracket.
2) If you choose to do the Vette Rotors up front then you will need a Bracket for the caliper and abument bracket to fit the bigger rotor!! you are basically changing the location of setup by going to a bigger rotor..
3.) you cannot use the Rear Vette rotor in the back because it will not fit the parking brake bracket. Now If you do wanna use it the I would suggest giving Kore a call. You basically have to change the whole parking brake assembley!!
Now I have already done these upgrades and know from expericence!! If you guys want pics let me know.... I would be happy to post the pics for you guys>!!

I wish the rear vette calipers had the corvette name cast in like the fronts do...that would be nice. I recently purchased a very nice complete set of 08 vette calipers, guy wouldnt split them up. I cant wait to try them on, just waiting on pads and rotors...
I guess eventually I will swap the rears out...

NOT the Fbody pads and clips?
