Will new Z06 brakes work on our C5's..

Was curious if those new awesome sounding 6 piston and 4 piston brakes will work on our cars??
Anyone even have a clue yet.

They quite possibly will. They may need different caliper brakets as when you are retrofitting C5 -> C4 or when installing a Big Brake Kit.
Bigger wheels to fit for sure.

Nobody knows yet as the parts aren't available yet to try.

Might be a good idea but you'll just have to be patient.

I did notice in some of the pre release photo's that the rotor hub/hat looked different...possibly a different offset.

Yeah, I will be interested to see. Didn't know if anyone knew that much detail yet.
One of the reasons I am going to 18's all around though.
Although I still don't know how 6 different brake pads per piston works??
Does the aftermarket have pads for those type of applications?
I thought these were just standard brembos but sound diferent.
