I look at it this way: these caliper + rotor assemblies come on vehicles that have been tested time and time again so I don't see much of a performance loss.

I should have been more clear, I meant strictly speed-wise. I would hate to be losing tenths, but isn't the rotor only a pound heavier per side more than stock?

GT500 front rotor: 26.2lbs - GXP front rotor: 24lbs
2009+ CTS-V/2010+ Camaro SS rear rotor: 24.05lbs - GXP rear rotor: 15lbs
Front CTS-V calipers weigh about the same as the GXP front calipers; I've weighed these personally. No clue on the rears.

And for the Caliper bolts, did you mess around with CTS-V bolts, or just use M12 x 1.75 x 60mm bolts?

Looks like GXP25 has you covered - I ordered the M12 bolts and sleeves from McMaster-Carr. The sleeves keep it all centered, so they're a must unless you want to drill and tap the calipers for M14 bolts and you can use your GXP ones.

I can't locate the cts-v bolts online. I saw a thread on a Cadillac forum where a guy actually used a m12x1.75 60mm, because he didn't want to wait. Gxp25 do you know where I can order some online?

You need four.
EDIT: You can get them at any dealership. I tend to get most of my GM parts from the dealership if it's reasonable enough. That way I don't have to deal with shipping costs. I only do that after checking their advertised price versus GM's true online price.
If I find myself being gouged, I tend to buy from http://www.group1autoparts.com
They tend to have some of the best prices and cheap shipping.

Yes, it works great - waiting till I need tires for the smokey white burnout! I still need to get to the track for a test & tune, but after a ride - my trans builder wants to use them in all his performance builds.

I did a full performance build a year ago and its running strong.
