Brakes question

Are the brake calipers from a '13 base non z51/non f55 the same as the brake calipers on a '09 base f55?

The difference is in the pads and rotors.

PAD SHAPE is the same. Compounds are all different on all these year vehicles... The C6 calipers where a little stronger but, still used the same pad shape. what are you trying to accomplish? I can maybe help you better if you tell me what you are looking to do. Feel free to PM or email me also.
