Default is ls7 brake system work??

hi guys..

is it work to use the stock ls7 brake pads and disk for c5 zo6?? did any one try it??
I am in middle east and the shipping cost would be very expinseve to order an after market brake system due to the high weight of brake disk

C6Z (LS7) brakes can be used on the C5Z. It's a dirrect swap (I think). Need the lines, calipers, rotors(brake disk) and pads. Requires 18" or larger wheel to fit C6Z larger diameter rotors.

Brake Pads ? No not a direct swap

Different size

C6Z brakes can be put on the C5 but also need different wheels 18" min wider offset to fit over the C6Z calipers

If I'm not mistaken, stock C6 z06 wheels are 18" x 9.5" front and 19" x 12" rear.
