Default Changing it up a bit. Ctsv caliper upgrade concept with a different caliper.

Can someone send me the dimensions of the gen 1 ctsv's calipers? Width, depth, length. I found another caliper that is 4 piston, will work with 17" wheels (without modifying the wheels or caliper), and cheaper. But I want to make it work first before I tell everyone. Ill be using the same process as the ctsv sticky just using a different 4 piston caliper that gm produced that we have all over looked. Lol I would be greatly appreciative of any one that can chime in and help.

Well it's more of an option for people that don't want to go through all of the grinding to get them to fit in a 17" wheel. Probably the same price if not a little less. I love my ss wheels and I don't want to buy ctsv calipers and then have to butcher them so they can fit.

Don't even think about linking to a non-sponsor...

We have many many sponsors who sell quality break packages (including 4 piston sets) and can help with this issue.

I butchered mine and this is how they look now.... It all depends on the person also. I like doing all the mods on my car myself, and others pay shops. But ehh. To each his own...

I know many have done it but just a part of me can't fathom grinding up a brembo.

Pretty funny.

Guys, there is an entire thread with part numbers etc to get the CTS-v calipers from for damn good prices.

Not a link to a NON-SPONSOR, but rather a link to a thread with all the info you need. Go back to around early October last year and start reading.

It's still ok to post links to threads right??? And with GM part numbers right??? Or is that not allowed anymore?

Yes, that's all kosher. Posting links to one-of-a-kind items is also OK.

Posting links to parts that compete with our sponsors is not so cool... We can talk all about the various options - as long as we don't pimp non-sponsor's websites/stores.

I know the rules, I've been here for a little while now. Just because my name isn't green doesn't mean that I don't know how things work around here.

I meant no disrespect and posted that info for the rest of the folks asking questions above. (I shouldn't have copied your quote, which really confused that.)

I'd really like the OP to come back with more info. GM seems to have a thing for performance brake packages on the new cars and maybe there is something else there that will bolt up quickly?
