Default Anyone done the CTS-V Brake Mod?

Has anyone put the CTS-V calipers on your F Body? If so, did you get the Z06 rotors or SS rotors? And from where did you get your brake lines?

Thanks

There's a sticky thread on this in the suspension and brakes section.

I wasn't trying to be rude, but that thread has like all the info you could possibly need. It's a really easy bolt on swap. I'm not local to you but I've done it. First with c6 z06 rotors then changed to 2010 camaro rotors. Got lines from flynbye.

I used Stoptech C6Z06 rotors but I'm going to take them off and do the 5th gen rotors.

Looks real nice BlueStreak ! Going with the Camaro rotors for the same reason as everyone else? The most difficult part for me will be finding a machine shop that will take on such a small job.

I took mine to two different places. On was a engine machine shop and they told me "no" pretty much because it was "unsafe" the other place was just a general mechanic shop and they had no issues. Charged me $40 and they're perfect. Fit the hub like a glove.
