Z06 calipers...

Will the red Z06 calipers bolt right up to a 2000 SS without required modification or does something need to be done before they'll fit? Thanks.

They'll bolt right into the F-body caliper baskets. Just need C5 brake pads now

You DO NOT need C5 pads . . . Only need the C5 pad if your are using the C5 basket and rotor.

The calipers are a direct swap.

direct swap, or do you still need to grind off 1 fin... i know it is simple to do, just wondering if it is still needed, as last time i looked into this, it was.
