Default C6 Z06 rotor question

Will C6 Z06 rotors work on a C5 (front and back) without any other mods?
Would like to use C5 front calipers (front and back) and retain the e-brake.

No - you will need the larger caliper mounting brakets. 18" wheels with the proper offset.

Default ok

I know that I'll need the bracket and 18's (I have 19" all around), just need to know if the rear rotors will work with the e-brake

Default brakes

Just finished the install. C6 Z06 rear rotors slip right on the rear and do not require any changes to the parking brake assembly.
