Yes most of these big brake kits fit like stock without the need for adapters for clearance or adaptable brackets for the C5 and C6 factory calipers that are needed for our ZR-1s

For normal driving the stock calipers are fine. For a little bling you might consider the 96 GS/CE calipers which are black with the correct Venus Rising Corvette script logo. Then maybe a set of Baer eradispeed rotors that add slotting and holed looked within nice stainless fasteners. I have this on my 90.

Or go all out like my 91.
