C5 Calipers on C6
Does anyone know if C5 brake calipers will work on a C6? Just the calipers, not the mounting brackets.
It appears that you can buy 4, C5 calipers brand new, in red for like $350. It's not worth painting your old ones for that.

Of course, I can powdercoat yours for $200 and they will look much better than the stock C5 Z06 ones.
Although I do understand about downtime.
