2010 Camaro SS rotors (Autozone has them for around $58.00 each)
*You will need to machine out the center of the rotor to fit your hub. 71 mm I believe......it is in the write up (page 33 top post)
Just call KORE3, tell them what you are doing and they will set you up with the right brake lines.
Thanks,
Do you know the reason for not going with the Z06 Rotors ?
Question... Is there a certain dimension (spec) that the camaro rotors need to be milled to ? I want to get the machining done before I take the current rotors off the car.
So an unfortunate update about wheel options. I know a lot of guys were running OE Wheels black chrome spyder replicas (18"x9.5" 40ET). They were a very cost friendly option and you didn't need to deal with spacers to fit them. I was planning on purchasing these in the spring to use on my setup as I just started buying parts.
OE Wheels just updated their website and I couldn't find these anymore, I emailed a sales rep and he confirmed that they are discontinued.
Aggiebutter, if you can't find any concrete info and you're definably set on doing CTS-V brakes, order the calipers, take you wheel off and just line up where the V caliper with mount the best you can and get a ballpark measurement of how much the CTS-V caliper sticks past the stock caliper. With that, you should have enough info to get a spacer in the ballpark that you need. If you need to get another spacer to gain a little extra space or maybe bring the wheel in a bit, tbh it's the cost of doing business when you do big brakes, but another set of spacers is a lot cheaper than a new set of wheels.
Aggiebutter, actually now that I think of it, I have a set of CTS-V calipers in the box ready to go on in the spring, and I have a set of stock 98-02 calipers I got with my spindles. I'll take some photos and measurements for you later tonight or tomorrow to help you get started.

Pics are in, for the record these are a 4-piston Brembo from a 1st gen CTS-V compared against a 98-02 2-piston LS Style F-body caliper.
Luckily I had a try square that could stand on its own while I held the tape and took photos. Anyway, measuring from the mounting flange to the square on the CTS-V's gave me a measurement of about 4-5/8"
Still have my sweet holiday table cloth on my dining room table.
For the F-body calipers, i pushed them together as best I could to simulate the farthest that the floating caliper would protrude towards the back of the wheel, it'll usually be this way after some fresh pads are put on and move father away as they wear down. From the same mounting flange to the square I got about 3-3/4"
Calipers were a little dirty, had to throw a paper towel down to protect that table cloth. I used a little package some drain plug seals came in to level the caliper the best I could.
So with that, you're looking to move that wheel approximately 7/8" outward in order to have about the same amount of space between the back of the wheel and Brembo's as you do now with the LS calipers when they're fully pushed together with fresh pads.
Understand that Brembo's are fixed calipers and can fit pretty tight to the back of a wheel, usually a lot tighter than a floating caliper that's stock so you may actually end up with a spacer that works that's a lot less than 7/8", but a spacer around that size is not a bad place to start when you first put the calipers on, then once you mount your wheel, if you have a ton of space, measure and move down in size.
4-Piston CTS-V's vs. 2-Piston LS Backspacing Continued
Even better, don't know why I didn't think of this. In case your pads are worn down a bit, I measured just the LS mounting bracket, the fixed part of the LS's floating calipers. From the mounting flange to the edge it's about a hair past 3", 3-1/16" if you want to get ****.
So to help get a little closer with the spacer, the difference between the fixed Brembo caliper and the fixed LS bracket is about 1-5/8". So measure the closest part of the wheel to the front of that bracket (it should be less than 1-5/8", if it's more than you shouldn't need a spacer), subtract that from 1-5/8", add 1/4" for some space between the wheel and calipers and measuring error, and that should get you in the ballpark of your desired spacer.
No problem. When you get everything on and figure out what works, there is a fairly recent sticky https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...come-here.html Post some pictures and specs. That sticky seems like a great resource but hasn't seen much action since it was created.
