c6 Z51 brake specs

Anyone have an idea if these will work with one of the many adaptor brackets available? I can't find any mounting specs on the web to see how they compare to a c5 caliper...wonder if the mounting points are the same?

After looking at them they should be essentially the same as C5 brakes.

OK, maybe a bit different...rotors are definitely larger. Can you get me the distance between bracket mounting holes?

Thanks.

Ed,
From what I've picked up on corvette fourm.com is that the bracket is taller to allow for a larger rotor. I tried and these won't clear my 17" WIN wheels. I'm going to use the c5 brackets with the calipers and see how that goes.

Thanks,
Pete
