Will stock C5 rotors fit an F-body?

I figured this would be the best place to ask. Anyone know? I'm selling the stock rotors off my Corvette and thought maybe someone here might need a set. But before I advertise, I wanted to make sure they'd fit. I can't imagine why they wouldn't work but if anyone knows for sure, please let me know. Thank you!

They are not a direct bolt-on, but can be used on an F-body with caliper relocation brackets that are sold by Bob Bishop and LG Motorsports. I have the LG kit and am very happy with my C5 brakes.

what about the z06 rotors and calipers? are they the same thing as the c5? I would think they would be a bit bigger.

The Z06 and base C5 use the same rotor, and the only difference in the caliper is the color of the powdercoat. I have Z06 calipers which are red; the base C5 calipers are gray.

How do you figure???

Baer does not suggest Eradispeeds for track use; LG's kit is fine for road course use. Eradispeeds are 12", and use the F-body caliper (which is prone to flex under hard use).

C5 brakes > driveway jewelery.
