Smile Firehawk C6 Brake Upgrade

I have acquired a set of 2008 C6 Brake calipers for a very generous price and will be installing them on my Firehawk here in the next week.

However, I have a quick question I hope a few of you LS1 Gurus can chime in on...

My main concern is whether or not the factory C6 OEM rear rotors will fit on the F Body without any issues? I am going to purchase the OEM Replacements from “GM Parts Dir” and would like to know if the C6 Rotors would be a direct replacement for the rears, or should do I need aftermarket Front C6 Rotors and aftermarket rear F Body Rotors...?

Thank you for your time; I really appreciate any insight regarding this topic.

Cool I read it...

I read that thread...

I already have the brackets, Stainless Steel Brake Lines and Hawk Pads for the front brakes... I am about to order the rotors, and would like to know if the rears are a direct bolt on from the C6 Corvette...

Get F-body rotors for the rear. I believe the offset is different on the C6 rear rotors.

Do you have the adaptor brackets for the front calipers?? In order to use the C6 front rotors, you need to have the F-body to C6 adaptor brackets for the calipers.
