Default C6 Z06 rear calipers

Will they work on a rear big brake upgrade?

Don't see why not, C6 Z06 calipers are a direct bolt on to the C5, just have to ensure you have the correct wheels to clear the calipers.

if you want to do zr1 brakes it can be done but it is not as easy as a c6z brake swap and very expensive... there was another guy on here that did it, I believe his name was "pumba"... do a search and go through his thread and you should have a pretty good idea of what you're in for

Was carbon an otpion on zr1 or did they all come with that?

I'd bet those carbon rotors go for a whole lot of money.
