Will Z06 steel brake calipers/rotors fit on a base model?

True enough.
I machined my own radial mounts for the Aero Calipers to work on the stock rotors, works great. Im sure wilwood will catch up soon. I have less than $2,000 into my Aero6/4 front and rear brake setup with pads and lines. (FYI this is on a Z, I ditched the stock calipers, as I mentioned earlier, they are not impressive)

LOL, you know it...
Where do you think they got the idea/design for the C5/C6 stuff?! I think I had them out for a few months and sold a half dozen before chit hit the fan from other dealers asking how to get them!

I will be running Z51 stock wheels. For clarification I upgraded from base model to Z51 brakes. I decided not to do the Z06 brake system as nobody had Z06 take offs available at the time. It was either used Z51 (cheap) or new Z06 system (not cheap).
