Default A quick question please

I have a C5 (Go ahead, I have tough skin. ) and I upgraded my brakes to C6 (Coupe) calipers with Z51 brackets and rotors. My question is: Do stock C6 calipers (front) have an anti rattle clip inside at the top of the caliper? My C5's do, and the clip will not transfer (clip is too big). Should I start hunting for them?

Thank you in advance.

If I'm understanding correctly, answer is no. I'll refer you to this thread, and the one I linked in it, to hopefully make sure we're on the same page.

That was what I was looking for. Thank you. Apparently, the C6 calipers do not utilize that "top" clip that the C5's do. They only use the end clips to hold the pads.
