i heard that VB or somebody was working on this. it would make sense as the calipers are large enough to accept the c-3 1.25" rotor. i'm not so sure about the rear calipers though, i don't know if they'll fit over our rotors. the fronts will.
you could always get real creative and try it yourself. if it works you could make your own kit and make big bucks! :) i've got a similar project i'm thinking about. just need mucho $$$.

Yeah, I was thinking about going thru Baer and getting them to make a system for me but that's probably gonna be big $$$$. Then I thought that if C5 calipers and/or rotors fit a C3 then it might not be that much.

Yes it can be done. I am working on this right now. Check out my site for details. I currently have all the rotors mounted and am making brackets for the calipers. The first one should be done tomorrow.
