I don't know the specs of the camaro ss brake system, but I'm 99.9999% sure that installing these (if it's possible?) will throw off the brake system balance that the stock system was designed for. How much this will affect a street driven car I can't say, but honestly, for the money you are better off getting a system designed for these cars.

I know with Nissans if you upgraded a 240sx brakes with the bigger 30mm twin turbo Z32 brakes this problem was fixed

alright... just found out the camaro uses a 5 x 120mm bolt pattern instead of a 5 x 4.75" (120.65mm), so you don't want to run these rotors on your car. they'll "fit", but can lead to stud breakage

To answer the question as to will the bolt in place of a C5 caliper...
Yes and no. Yes in the fact that the spacing between the bolt holes are the same width apart, no in the fact that to reuse the bracket on the spindle you will need to upsize the rotor to almost a 15" diameter as the caliper is offset vertically much more than a C5 caliper is. If you want to run a 20" wheel and get a custom rotor, go nuts. If you want a 4 piston brembo in place of your C5 caliper, not going to happen.
You could fab your own spindle bracket to catch the caliper further inward and maybe get it to work, but on a spindle like the AFX or factory C5/C6 you can't do anything as the caliper mount is fixed on the spindle and the caliper (aka not removable)
