Both of these guys are wrong in a sense. They will fit your calipers no problem. But, it also depends on what C6 brakes you're speaking of, Base C6 or C6 Z51 brakes.
But, as there is always a but. You will need a C5 brake bracket. You can reuse your LS1 calipers once you purchase the C5 brake upgrade bracket, then buy the rotors your friend want to sell you. But, honestly, it would be a rip off. They're maybe worth $40-50, depending on the condition. Mainly because you can only use the front rotors, and not the rear. And two, because those rotors are more expensive then more aftermarket rotors out there.
So, basically, if you want to upgrade to the C5 brakes, just but aftermarket rotors.
