Default rear caliper/rotor conversion - C5Z to C6Z calipers

did anyone do it and if yes, what was your experience?

parts needed, wheel fitments, clearance etc?


Still thinking about what to do about rear brakes that would give me a 4-piston setup while preserving parking brake functionality....

Stoptech, Brembo, Performance Friction kits all have drum e-brakes on the rear kits. The C6Z should be a direct bolt on, but I haven't personally done it. Depending on what front kit you are running, bias might be an issue.

I run C5Z06 Rears on our C6Z06, and they cleared the OEM rear setup fine. Occasionally they would just brush the front caliper howerver..

would love to hear more opinions

can I just bolt rear C6Z calipers to the stock C5 brackets? Will I need a taller rotor? how about brake lines? wheel clearance?
