2010+ Camaro Caliper and Rotor setup on a early A-body
Hi guys, I need some professional input.
-So, I would like to run them on a stock spindle(short). The brakes are 14" rotors and 4 piston calipers. I have searched through Kore3's site and found nothing, although they had posted a year ago on pro-touring.com that they were woking something out for this application. Anyone know if they figured it out? I would like to not run AFX spindles (too much money!) but do need a better brake and I am trying to keep a budget. I know that a few teenagers have had to have wrecked their daddy's new camaro by now! Thanks in advance guys!
Can anyone give me some sort of advice on what I will need to do.

that swap is completely possible should be close to the same as the swap that I am doing right now brembo swap from cts-v here is the build thread on it now check it out and let me know if this helps.

Sierrac3 I'm a little cautious of CPP not from my own personal experience many friends have had questionable experiences with their stuff. I will check it out never the less.

I did it on my 71 Chevelle, custom front brackets and lines, rear custom brackets, spacers, c-clip eliminators, and custom lines. Front was pretty straight forward bout the same as a regular Ls1 brake swap, rear was a little more involved. Had to install the c-clip eliminators to keep from pad slap. And with the custom brackets still had to do custom spacers to get the caliper to line up correctly.

No complaints, but I just got the swap done and have a few other things to finish up on the car before I hit the road. Not using any parking brake. The wheels are Corvette Z06 replicas, 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear, I'm rear 2"spacers all the way around (cause of wheel choice, not the brakes). I think I could have ran 17's with the proper offset. I know the f-body guys are doing it with 17's. I made all my own brackets and spacers. Lots of trial and error and measuring and remeasuring. If you value your time I think out would be cheaper to buy a setup already made for your car. I just wanted to be different mostly.

One thing to consider with this swap is the center bore dimension of the rotors. It is imperative that the rotors register precisely on the hub. I believe the 2013 Camaro rotors use a different center bore dimension than the "traditional" GM dimension, such as the one used on the C5/C6 Corvette (I forget the exact bore size, I think it is 2.76").
On the rear, using fixed caliper with a c-clip axle design is asking for increased pad knock back during cornering. A floating caliper design is much better suited to a c-clip style axle.

I used 90 Camaro 9bolt rear disc brakes on my Chevelle. I had to redrill the mounting plates as the 9 bolt has a larger four bolt flange. Then I had space the pad carriers off the mounting plates with a few washers. I used '08 Caravan parking brake cables (both right side cables as they are longer). they connected to the calipers like stock, but I crossed them over top the differential and put them in the stock frame locations. From there it hooked directly to the rest of the factory parking brake system.

I used c-clip eliminators on the rear.
