Rear Calipers

Do the rear calipers on C5's and LS1 F-bodies interchange? Also, is the LS1 rear caliper a better casting than the LT1 or C4 rear caliper? It appears to be a little bit beefier.
Thanks,
Mark

I also posted this on another board....sorry if your reading this for the second time.

The LS1 calipers in rear are strong enough that they have wheel hop problems under hard braking, and often will shave the pad contact patch down to help. Another option of course is a proportioning valve.

Aren't they C-5s rear calipers smaller then the LS1s Zs(I've heard) less wheel hop or something?
