Default C6 brakes on C4

Can C6 brakes go on a C4 with an adapter or something?

the base C6 brakes seem to be the same as the C5 brakes, so it shouldn't be a problem.... just use the C5 adapter brackets.

No they can't fit that way. Here is a thread about it:

Maybe you should have read that more closely.... I stated "BASE" C6 brakes. That thread refers to ZO6 brakes, a different beast entirely...

You can use the base C6 brakes with out any problems. You can also use the C6 Z51 set up as well, but you need to be very careful with the placement of wheel weights.
