C5 calipers a direct bolt on for f-bodies?
I know you can't use the C5 rotors without using the relocation brackets. However I like the look of the red Z06 Calipers and was told that those would bolt right on and I would be able to use them with my stock f-body rotors. This true?

Just out of curiousity, if the only reason you waant the C5 calipers is because you "like the look" why don't you save yourself a ton of money and just buy a can of VHT, clearcoat, and a set of caliper stickers from Afterthoughts? If you want increased braking ability than thats another story but I think to fully utilize the calipers, C5 rotors would be needed also.
