I have searched and read all I can on this and still do not have all the answers. This is what I know so far:
I know the difference in stopping power may be marginal or non-existent. I really do not care, the cost for a new f-body rear caliper and the Z06 ones are within $10 each.
It appears that the Z06 rear calipers will bolt right on an f-body.
The caliper repair kits have the same part #
I know that you will need to either get C5 anti rattle clips or modify the f-body ones. I believe the only way to get the c5 clips is to purchase factory pads.
What I do no know is:
Can I/do I want to use C5 rear rotors??
Are the abutment brackets the same??, does this even matter??
Is there any source for the anti rattle clips other than getting GM pads??
F-body or C5 Pads??
Thanks in advance!!!
