Question about C5 caliper brackets
Are the caliper brackets on the C5 Coupe and Z06 the same?
Also, do they differ from drivers side to passenger side?
I am looking for a set of used caliper brackets, front and rear, so I can clean them up and send them out for powder-coating.
I don't want to take my car apart and have to wait, so I would rather have them done up front and do the swap.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
All the best,
Jim

Other than the ZO6 getting powder coating, they're the same.
I believe they're the same part number side to side also. Don't quote me on that, I may not be right.

He said caliper BRACKETS.
Yes, the calipers and brackets both are identical from the base and the Z06.
There are only two part numbers for the brackets, one number for the fronts and one number for the rears, so that tells me they are the same from side to side.

And the caliper are the same also (95% sure). 
One read "corvette" downwards and the other upwards....because it is turned...

The calipers have different part numbers side to side so that the bleeder screw can be in the proper position. And even though they are identical, the Z06 calipers have different part numbers also because of the powder coating.

Yes, the brackets are the same, as are the calipers. Only difference is the color in the Z06 ones.
