Default C5 Z06 Brake kit for 99 vert

Has anyone put the C5 z06 brakes on their standard c5. if so was it worth it and were you happy with the upgrade.

Thanks in advance

The only difference in C5 ZO6 calipers and standard C5 brakes is that the ZO6 units are red.

^^ What he said! I put a set on a C6 because the guy wanted red calipers. They are the same as our standard C5's except red. (They are a little different than the C6's as far as fins and the "Corvette" script, but they have exactly the same fitment......)
