After careful info fact finding I have ordered a C5 complete upgrade kit instead of the C6 ZO6 upgrade kit. My reasons were simple, it turns out to be very expensive for all the parts needed (over $2K) and I just don't need that much braking power (I don't road race anymore) at the present time.
I purchased OEM
Red ZO6 (C5) calipers:
Z51 Rotors (OEM cross drilled)
Dura Stop Ceramic pads (lifetime GM warrantee)
UMI C5 conversion brackets
All GM pins and washers needed for a grand total of$771 plus shipping. Can't beat the quality and peace of mind buying genuine GM replacement parts.

Why did you order the cross drilled rotors?

They are the C5 Z51 OEM rotors.

Why not base C5 blanks? The holes actually will hurt performance.

Look at about post 7 on...
