THats cool then. Must be specailly made to fit skinnys. My only question is why would you get huge front brakes if your using skinnys? unless you switch em up between the track and street? I dont really do skinnys so im not sure. Not my style. but cool they made 17" fit the ctsv calipers. Wish i could fit them with my regular 17" rims lol

gm high tech did a writeup on this mod using 09-10 cts-v calipers, the 6 piston calipers. everything goes the same, but i think its cool that these fit too. instead of having to run corvette calipers and the brackets to get the 6 piston fronts.

only down side: i checked gmpartsdirect and the newer calipers are 330 a piece...vs. 140 for the older 4 piston calipers. still have about 8-900 bucks in the front brakes with 6 piston calipers tho!

Does anyone know if these will fit on my '00 Z28 with CCW 505a's that have a corvette backspacing of 775mm? (not sure of the offset)



NM, CCW told me I would need a 3/4" spacer or more for fit these on my Z since my front offset is 57mm.
They advised me that a C6 Z51 caliper set up would be my best bet based on my setup.

(hope this helps someone else)

I thinking about doing the 6 piston setup or the Strange Dual caliper setup. I know the dual caliper is over kill on a N/A, but it looks soooo SICK!!!

I have read this entire forum and looked and even tried looking through gmpartsdirect, does anyone know what the loaded calipers are or what all I would need to order to make these, tried calling some salvage yards around me and all of them are completely lost as to what a CTS-V is.
