I had considered doing this, so i popped the piston out and measured it and there is not enough material to safely cut them. I think spacers are a better option. Alot cheaper too.

i think screeminc5 pretty much summed up your question...with as much stopping power the c6 z06 calipers offer i would not feel comfortable shaving that much off them
