Brake Calipers
The dark grey calipers that come with the Z51 performance package. Will they fit non-Z51 C6 brakes? If so can I order them though Chevy dealers? How much will they cost?

Per the GM web page refering to the Z51 " It features larger and thicker brake rotors that are cross drilled".
Seems unlikely the calipers would be the same.

Calipers are the same-just different brackets to accomodate the larger rotors.
