Default C6 Z06 Brakes

I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes on my car to C6 Z06 brakes. I've seen some info on other forums but there seems to be some info missing.

Is this a simple matter of purchasing the brake kits (rotors, disks, pads, SS brake lines) and then bolting on the pieces, or are there some hidden "got-cha's" out there the I should look for?

Thanks!

That is what I understand as well. Just need C6Z06 size or larger wheels to clear the brakes.
