Looking at this installation of the C6Z brakes on a C5, the location of the caliper and bolt pattern is identical. May not even need the adapter according to Pete.

Now here's a provider of C4-C6Z caliper adapters. http://flynbye.com/catalog/i28.html Looks like it is different from the C5
adapters which appears to contradict the pic I posted previously.

Given the installation of the C6Z brakes on a C5 spindle, how could the adapters be dimensionally different?? Maybe they just look different? Unless its the clearance for a 14" rotor?

I put a set of the C5 and C6 Z06 adapters together (when ricky got his).... They are bigger, but not Not by much.

When we uninstall we will take pictures and compare

There will be a limited write up and all will be available via the newsletter.
