Default 2014 Corvette Brake Swap

Has anyone had the 2014 Corvette brake components in their hands long enough to determine if there is going to be any interchangeability with the C5/C6 generations? This might be a natural upgrade for someone who might be running ATS spindles or any other Corvette-based system and is looking to upgrade while retaining the benefits of using OEM parts.

Thus far, this is the only substantial information I've found on the 2014 brake system, but nothing that would indicate whether a swap is possible: http://www.essexpartsblog.com/news/c...y-track-worthy

Not for sure if they left the actual mounting lug location/distance/offset the same, and am thinking they ARE different, but they certainly have made some nice improvements to the Upright "Steering Knuckle" to help combat deflection that occurs in the current C5/6 Upright. Although all these front suspension/steering components look similar to the C5/6,,,, they are different and will not interchange.

Oh, and the lower arms are now hollow I believe for a considerable weight savings too....

Wondering how long until DSE, RS, AM are designing around these
