corvette rear brakes

Does anyone know if c5 rear brakes could be used on a thirdgen for a disc brake swap? The reason I ask is because I can get everything new for 200 bucks. rotors, drum e brake and loaded calipers all new from gm.

If you can get that good of a deal on GM stuff, I could use the front rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets off of a '96 vette

Sorry I dont get deals on this stuff. At my work we build race cars out of corvettes. I have a rear disc brake set up off of a 2002 zo6. We ditch thes brakes and run the front calipers on the back and ap racing brakes on the front. When we get out chassies they are un finnished corvettes. so everything is new and sitting on a shelf

C5 rear brake calipers are the same as LS1 rear calipers and will bolt right in. I'm not sure on the other parts tho.
