Just bumping this for an answer...

Also, what is a pin kit?

Thanks!

Brembo pads are replaced through an opening in the back of the caliper. The pads are then secured using a rectangular spring plate and two drift pins. Evidently the CTS-V calipers do not come with the pins and spring. They have to be purchased separately.

Hey those Brakes look sweet with those vette rims! I was wondering what other brands can I Buy other than brembo, that wont hurt my wallet?

There really is not much else thats affordable, what makes the Brembo calipers attainable and affordable is that they are a factory part.

Kits such as Stoptech, Baer, and Wilwood are typically between $2,000 and $3,000 for our cars, or any car for that matter.

Has anyone done this with a set of WS6 rims? If so, did you need spacers?

yes you would need spacers.
the CTSV calipers stick out like a ****

Unless you fabricate a custom bracket, they aren't fitting under the WS6 wheels anyway; spacer or not.

I read through this whole thread, and I'm still a little confused about what exactly is needed. I get that you need the calipers, hardware, rotors, etc. I'm not sure if brackets are needed or not. Will these calipers clear my wheels (19x9.5 HP Evos, I think they have a 38mm offset)? Are there 2-piston Brembo calipers available for the rear brakes?

For the first question, it would be close, but I would guess no. I had the HP HPR5s in the same size, which are very similar, but with the 3" lip, the face of the wheel sits in very far. I would get the ruler out and see how much clearance you have from the stock brakes to the Evos, and post that up to find out though.

For the second question, yes, but I don't believe they simply bolt right in. Likely won't be a very economical choice.

Are any brackets needed to install the 4-piston CTS-V Brembos? Or do they bolt right on?

The CTS-v brembos bolt on with a couple of washers to center the caliper over the rotor. You might need a spacer, depending on the wheel design.

The 6-piston c6z06 PBR rotors require brackets.

Last question - are there any aftermarket 14" blank rotors available? I'm looking for maximum braking power, not a bling-bling cros-drilled/slotted rotor setup.

Fbodyfan

I believe that EBC has their entry level blank for the ZO6, and I saw a centric blank listed on Rockauto, but centric's website does not show it so I am not sure if it exists.

DBA and powerslot/cryoslot have slotted rotors that are not drilled. That is what I am planning on using when I do mine.

After doing some digging, DBA has 14" blanks for the Z06 listed on their website. I haven't been able to find a retailer that sells them though, it seems everyone only has cross-drilled or slotted versions of the rotor.
