Default Daytona Coupe big brakes

I'd like to upgrade the brakes on a Superformance Daytona Coupe. 18" 5 lug pin drive wheels all around.

I'm looking to order a Wilwood 6 piston Superlite caliper for the front with 14" slotted rotors with aluminum hats, and a 4 piston Superlite for the rear, also with 14" rotors. It's a standard Wilwood upgrade kit for the C5 Corvette. It comes with brackets to modify the stock caliper mounting points to allow mounting of the Wilwood caliper, and to create space for a 14" rotor.

After taking every measurement we could, my mechanic and I decided that the 14's and the calipers would fit fine in the 18" coupe wheels, and that since it's a stock C5 hub with the stock C5/Z-06 brakes (PBR), the Wilwood C5 kit should work. Are we correct?

Will I run into any problems with the pin drive system, or should this be a straight bolt on? Any problems with torquing down pin drive lug nuts against an aluminum hat versus the iron hat that's on the existing rotors?

Thanks for any help. I've contacted a few dealers including the importer, but no one has any experience at this.
