Default C4 To C5 Brake Upgrade

Hello. I would like to know if it's possible to upgrade to C5 calipers on a C4? I did a search, but didn't find anything pertaining to this subject. Any help would be appreciated. Al.

I have seen a number of C4 Vettes running C5 front calipers and larger rotors. It requires a larger caliper bridge, but other than that everything is a bolt on. I'm not sure about required front wheel size, but think that 17" might be necessary. Post your question in the C4 section, I'm sure that you would get more responses there.
