Honesty, the only reason I brought it up is because I actually have a setup (calipers, rotors, pads, etc...) sitting around my office.

Free is a tough price to beat.
C5 brakes aren't a bad option. But...yes, there's a but...by the time you buy or fabricate the parts to mount them to your spindles, you could almost just buy the upgraded parts we're referring to for less money. Remember, trucks use larger bearings on the spindles and rotors than most other GM cars and Corvettes.
