Yes, but you lose the parking brake.

Have a good one,

Having tried to put the front rotors on the rear of a C5 before, the answer is no. They are not the same shape on the interior portion and will not fit. No matter how hard you try.

To answer the obvious question, 1) it was my first rotor changeout and 2) someone was feeding me the rotors.

But I can say the rear rotors will fit the front...

you can retrofit the entire front assembly to the rear, but it messes up the proportioning. The piston area of the fronts are 60% larger than the rear, and it really throws you bias off. YES, you can get a larger master cylinder, and YES the ABS will save you, but if the ABS ever goes out, you'll be sorry.

Actually, the rear brakes are fine, as they only do 30% of the work under a heavy load. The fronts are the ones that get toasted, and we can get you a set of Stoptechs to fix that.

Yes the rears wear out quickly, but they don't overheat, boil and melt pistons like the fronts.
