So yours is an LT1 and you didnt have to change the spindle? to work the CTS v Brakes?

I got 2 questions
Anyone ever put these on their car with RPM 505 rims? I think the offset is 38. Look like they should work.
And
Does anyone know where i can get the line that connects one side of the caliper to the other? I can get them from my work for 95 bucks a caliper but it doesn't look like it comes with that line?

Heres the thing tripping me up... why does the wheel offset matter for caliper clearance? After all offset is the distance from the wheel flange to the wheel centerline. Is it that a lot of the cheaper wheels out there use the same casting for both with the only difference being how much the wheel flange is ground down. Giving say a 40mm offset wheel a greater distance from wheel flange to the back of the spoke than a 56mm offset of the same design? This of course is a hypothetical in positive offset measurements.

I upgraded wheels. So whoever is doing the ctsv brake swap with 17" zr1 wheels I have the correct spacer for it. PM if interested.

the correct spacer for CTS-V calipers and 17" wheels changes depending on what wheel you are running due to backspace and spoke clearance along with inner diameter of the rim near depth of caliper

Just gotta read a little bit. I guess he should mention if it's for 9.5" wheels or not.

bluestreak - did you need any spacers with the C5 Z06 18x10.5 wheels ?

So I ordered some duralast z06 rotors from Autozone because they have the best deal and they actually give me a military discount unlike everyone else. Only problem I am having is they say they aren't directional but the fins are curved. When I asked them they showed only one part number for both sides, does this make any sense to anyone?

Also I got the rotors for the J55 brake option not the J56, not 100% sure on the difference.

It is normal, that's how they are.

WS6 veteran, you have the right ones. There is only one p/n for the z06 rotors, one side will have the holes running in one direction and the other the opposite (drove me crazy at first as it does not match the rears on my car, but now I don't notice it).

Just got my calipers in... so how about removing the "V" design? Looks like its in the clear coat but I think its powdercoat I was going to wetsand and rebuff but not if its under the clear coat.

Installed on 17 x 9.5 C5 Deep Dish Oewheelsllc.com with a 20mm hubcentric spacer. Can be done with a 15mm but I didn't have to grind as much with the 20mm as the wheel tapers. Just in case anyone was wondering like I was when doing research they did fit.

are the 6 piston worth all the extra money? they look amazing but the price difference is almost 400$. My car is a daily, i dont mind spending the extra money for performance and what not, but jsut wondering what you guys would suggest.

i can't imagine needing more than these, they grab VERY hard.


my car is also quite gutted and i'm running Hawk HP+ pads so that helps.

You don't need the 6-pots for performance, in fact the CTS-V's may be better. Also, I believe the 6-pot pads can be much more expensive!

So, it comes down to looks.. Me, I went with CTS-V's...
