Mounting and dimensions are the same. C5 are pressure cast aluminum whereas the LS1 are gravity cast. C5 are supporsed to be stiffer and resist flexing under heavy braking a little better. C5 have 40mm pistons. I think LS1 are the same, but I have also heard that they are 44mm.

The LS1 calipers have bigger pistons, not sure what size.
