Default 6 piston upgrade

Guys Im wanting to upgrade to C6 Z06 6 piston front brakes. I have installed a C5 Hybrid kit from CPP on the front of my 69 Camaro. Looking to keep the C5 hubs and uprights and wanna know if these calipers and rotors will bolt up. I looked at Kore 3 brake templates and I noticed there is 2 different bore sizes on the C6 Z06 355mm kit. I verified my bore size to be 2.776" on my rims and on the C5 hub. Does the C6 run 2 different bore sizes? Hopefully Tobin will chime in and clarify this for me.
Thanks in advance
Steve

Steve, I don't know what you mean when you say that there are two different bore sizes...for what? If you're referring to the wheel fitment templates on our website, those two wheel center bore sizes correspond to their respective wheel pattern, 5x4.75 x 2.776 and 5x5 x 3.06, but have nothing to do with the actual C6 Z06 parts.

The factory C5/C6(Z51/Z06) rotors have a nominal 70.5mm [2.776"] diameter center bore, nominally matching the C5/C6 unitized hubs. Since all of the C5 and C6 brake applications are interchangeable, then the CPP C5 spindles should allow you to run any OE C5 or C6 brake configuration so long as the calipers/pads/rotor come from the same application.

HTH,
Tobin
