I do believe though that if you have 20" wheels on your "C: that you can change the whole set rotors/pads/calipers for a SRT-8 and install on your "C"

The issue is that the KNUCKLES on the SRT-8 are different than the knuckles on the regular 300C. That means the brake mounting location is physically different between the two cars. Thus it is possible that you can't bolt the SRT-8 brakes onto a 300C regardless of what wheels you use.
It's the same with many other models. The BMW M3 uses different knuckles than the rest of the BMW 3-Series models. You cannot bolt M3 brakes onto any other 3-Series model. However, you CAN bolt the 330i brakes onto a 323i, since the 323i and 330i share the same knuckles. The M3 knuckles are unique to that model.
