okay so what im thinking is this:
if i buy calipers+rotors from a 2010 camaro, the bolts for the calipers will have to be drilled out a little, but the stock 2010 front rotors will work(14 inch), but the 2010's rear rotors are 14.4 inch, while the c6 z06's are 13.4, i will only need c6 z06 rotors for the rear. correct? or will the bigger 2010's rotors fit?

the bolts for the calipers is 14mm, and i think the bolt size on out spindle is 13mm.......i think im not sure about the size. but i do recall someone saying that you would have to make the bolt size on the spindle bigger.

I know it's been asked but I can't find a straight up answer. The fronts I will do just like the tutorial but how can I do the rears? I have the stock 10 bolt. Does it require a new rear axle?

Keep in mind that no one has come up with a cheap big brake kit for the rear. Only the front. There are brackets out there that will let you run the larger diameter vette rear rotors with a 2 piston caliper. The only 4 piston rear caliper kits I've seen are from Baer and other brake companies which are pricey.
You can check EB Millers site - flynbye dot com
also Kore3 dot com.

Hardly anyone feels a need to upgrade the rears. If they do, it's mainly for cosmetic reasons.

I know but I'm **** when it comes to appearance and I'm going with 19" wheels all around so I really feel I "need" the big brakes all around for it to look good. It would look so much better with brembos on all 4 like the 10' SS or c6's cts-v's etc. Heck I've seen newer honda's with brembos on all 4 on 7" wide wheel
I posted the info earlier in this thread...the brackets will be expensive if you want a 3 channel. Also you can not run the TCS and parking brake simultaneously (must choose one or the other), or if you run neither, the 2 channel will be cheaper.

The Eibach spacers will push your wheels slightly further out than mine are, because you have an offset of 3mm less. So your total offset will end up being 38mm, which is more than the 40mm that a stock Covette has.
However, that should leave more than enough room for caliper clearance.
If you have any other questions about the upgrade just let me know!!

This might be slightly off topic but I thought it was worth a mention...........
The Nov. GM High Tech Performance mag I just got in the mail yesterday (the one with the blue GMPP LS9 4rth Gen SS on cover) has an ongoing project 4rth Gen they nicknamed "STi Killer". In this issue they go through a complete install on that car of the CTS-V 6 piston Brembo calipers on stock Zo6 rotors.
Its not exactly what were talking about here , but it kinda is.........
I thought it was worth the read. It even tells you what spacer & what wheel worked for them..........
I think a 18x9.5 +40mm wheel will fit just fine without spacers though...... as long as the spokes are flush & don't curve in towards the caliper. I just wonder if they will stick out beyond my fenders with that offset........

I did the math & measuring but I'm still kinda timid about shelling out the $$$ to order wheels & having them show up & not fit . So its nice to see that someone has seen it with their own eyes work!
Wish there was an option for larger rears.....running around with 18's on the rear with stock calipers & the 6 piston calipers on the front kinda reminds me of one of those dudes at the gym that have a swole upper body & have chicken legs.................
