Fortunatley, my wheels hide the mating surface, so I'm going with the camaro rotors. Does Brembo make a blank for the 2010+ camaro?

Got the Front Left unit (172-2287) for $101.28,
Front Right (172-2288) for $126.38,
and Rear Right (172-2308) for $75.25
I couldn't find Rear Left (172-2309) anywhere on the site
also got two Z06 14" rotors (177-1000) for 72.72 each

All of this was also tax free and free 2 day shipping, except on the rotors. Those were shipped ground but shipping was only $1.50 each!!

Not sure I can mention the site as they're not a sponsor, but I will say that you have to be a Prime member to get the free 2 day shipping, and you can sign up for a free 30 day trial of Prime membership.

They also have the 6 piston units (172-2487, 172-2488) for just under $335 each, but I couldn't pull the trigger on those knowing that the extra $440 or so dollars could complete the entire 4 piston front setup (hoses, pads, rotors) and some of the rear, and I think the gains would be minimal.

I'm determined to get the Brembos out back with a working parking brake (my car is has a manual trans) so next up will be a Strange S60 rear which will be a better choice for the fixed calipers (no c-clips) and much stronger than our 10 bolt rears. Has anyone made a kit for this? I'm hoping to use the Z06 13" rotors

Once I have all the parts ready, I plan to put them behind some Weld RTS's ala the GMHTP STI Killer Camaro, huge fan of the mods they've done to that car.

Love this thread, hope some of you get to jump on those deals

in the future i'll b upgrading to the 6 piston brembo for bling purposes lol.

Also wondering, on cross drilled rotors, it seems like there should be a "right" and "left" to keep the holes in the same pattern on each side, instead of one side being backwards. Am I wrong?

One more thing. From what I'm seeing, the rear rotors on the first gen V's are 14.4", I'm guessing that isn't going to fit under a 17" wheel, unless the caliper is a lot thinner on top and sits down further on the rotor.

The 14" Z06 rotors are the same for both left and right, and yes one rotor runs backwards, that's how they did it, they even say the reverse rotor can experience higher temps. Aftermarket rotors are correct but cost more. And from what I know, this wont fit under a 17" wheel, you have to go 18" and run a wheel spacer if the spokes don't have enough pad clearance, most spokes will not clear the caliper. Camaro or CTS calipers are pretty much the same as far as size goes, but the Camaros has larger bolt holes, so you will have to drill out the spindles caliper mounting holes to match. Its easier just to use the CTS calipers

I was hoping I could use the 13" Z06 rotor for the rear, didnt realize the caddy used such a big rotor. We really need to figure out the rear setup, the front is pretty much all figured out

His seems to be working just fine and retains the parking brake assy.

wheels offsets?
fender clearance pics?

thanks
