Default Quick Brake question z51

I have a new 08 coupe non-z51... To upgrade to the z51 rotors..

Do i just need Caliper brackets and of course new rotors? Are the calipar the same? I think that is the answer, but just wanted to make sure...

Thanks!

You are correct on what you need. The front calipers are identical and I believe there is a slight difference in the piston diameter of the rear caliper (but they'll work just fine).

...brackets & rotors and you're good to go. FYI, the non Z51 rears are 35MM and the Z51 are 32MM, but they can be interchanged with no issues.
