C5 vs. Z06 calipers

[shelby987]

Searching Ebay I seem to come across a lot of calipers labeled Z06 and C5.......is there a difference between the calipers? Will they both work with 13" front rotors?
What size rotors will the rear work with?

Does the C5 use an integral parking brake on the rear or is it a drum type inside of the rotor hub? I would like to upgrade my 8.5 rear to disc. brakes, but would prefer to avoid the hassles/pit falls of cutting up a G-body 8.5 rear to accommodate the drum brake parking brake.

The only difference is the color

They use the drum brake type of e-brake. PBR uses the trade name "Banksia" for this system. Neat little system and complact.

It'll be nice when their electric e-brakes become more readily available and trying to adapt those to our older muscle cars :seizure:

There is a big difference between C6 Z06 brakes and the C5 setup.

How about the 2004 , or 05-06 GTO calipers vs the Vette? I know the main difference in 04 vs 05-06 GTO calipers is the "basket" allowing larger rotors and GTO on the caliper.

I assume the "basket" is different than the Vette ones.

Basket is diff but the caliper is same. I used C5 baskets with GTO calipers and LS1 backing plates on my chevy 12 bolt
