Sort of. They are forged, instead of cast, which is handy if you are road racing and spreading calipers. The good part about C5 brakes is the 13" rotor. Using a C5 caliper with a stock LS1 rotor is a bit of a waste, since the LS1 calipers have 44 mm pistons and C5 calipers have 40.5mm pistons. So, with stock rotors, you actually lose a bit of stopping power.
