As for the performance of the C5 brake set up, I think a few will argue with you...

He said "calipers", not rotors and calipers. In which case, they basically bolt right on. And, there will be no performance gain (actually, the smaller pistons will shift your brake bias towards the rear of the car).

Sorry to jump on your post, I just misread and jumped to a conclusion.

yeah i heard it doesnt make that much difference with the rotors and calipers, i just want the calipers for the cosmetics, so i dont need the brackets if i just want the calipers and does that go for the rear to because i can get both Z06 fronts and both rears new for under $200

I would get them for $200. I have a set i'm going to put on hopefully this weekend.
The rears are exactly the same as our f-bod's. The only difference is that they are powder coated red.
