They are very close to the same as LS1 brakes. The calipers are a bit better and are red. Other than that, pretty much the same principle.
Check out bigbrakeupgrade.com, I think they have kits for that swap.

Re: C5 brakes on thirdgen ?
I also concur on the brake package from bigbrakeupgrade.com. He sent everything that I needed except for the inside bearing and bearing seal for the hub. Those bearings you can scavenge from your existing rotors, and the seal is $5 at the parts store. They are strong enough to flat sport your tires faster than you can say "scrrrrt!"

Not sure if it's an optical illusion or not but that pic looks like the disks are drilled on the bottom half and slotted on the top lol
