if i remeber correctly, it's the same caliper and same rotor size but different spacing adn they wont bolt up. Plus, not much to gain from a bigger rear rotor.

if they're the same size and same spacing, then a rotor is a rotor is a rotor and there will be no difference from finding one for a corvette or finding one for a camaro. if you look them up and they have different part numbers, then they must be different.

In a word, the answer to your question is "NO". The offset on the rotor is different and they do not bolt on an F-body. You'll have to buy 2 rotors for one car, and two rears for the other.

Sorry.

What would it take to make them work? I bought a set of 4 rotors for like $180 cross drilled and slotted for my fbody, and I dont waste the rear rotors. I know it'll be custom but has anyone done it yet?
