C6 calipers are the same as C5's with different CORVETTE lettering...

the Z51 rears actually have a smaller piston; I've seen a few C5's w/ the newer script, something different

What the OP might be looking for is the Z51 brackets (abutements) - this will allow you to run the larger C6 Z51 rotors too. You can use your C5 calipers with this or the C6 (I did the latter just for a little changeup - it looks really good!).

Note that you'll likely need/want larger wheels to clear this setup if you go that way.
