haha I've never been so excited to get my face pealed off! I didn't go with crazy pads on the front but stepped up the rear to hawks ceramics to help with the bias. What do you run in the rear? and how do you feel your brake bias is?

I run NAPA $19.99 pads in the rear, i was told not to go with anything good in the back because it will cause axle hop under heavy braking. I've got a Wilwood prop valve to put on to dial the bias back a little because they can lock up if you slam on them.

haha I've been debating it... as far as I can tell so far ABS has been doing a good job for me with the stock brakes, at least keeping braking consistent and keeping my wheels from locking up. I can feel a tire lockup for a fraction of a second and ABS kicks in and takes care of it a lot faster than I could have ever reacted. though I've never driven a car without ABS hard to experience what its like without it.

I assume he probably paid less thoughNot sure what they are made with and not sure about your budget, but too rich for my blood that's for certain. For that price I'd hope the brakes throw me through the windshield lmao
Oh and if you want a direct link I found send me a message if you don't get another response.

I'm not the answer you are looking for but they look like they are by a company called Racing Brake. Won't post the link directly on forums but, product number 2072, they are about 1300 bucks on their website....yikes I assume he probably paid less though

Yes they are made by RB no they were not 1300, They are actually the Hurst 6260000 and can be had for under $450. I liked the idea of the 2 piece design and the lighter weight. I could not find a difference between these and the RB rotors except Hurst has their name printed on the side. I already sent The Alchemist a link, didn't think it was needed to post "PM sent" on this thread.

Probably a dumb question(s), but just want to make sure I have the proper materials before I bite the bullet and buy the CTS-V calipers.
1) I have stock size rotors from rotorsonline, the calipers will fit them without modification, right?
2) On Flynbye's will the brake lines for the CTS-V/LS1 conversion mentioned in the original post work for both front and rear brakes?
3) If the stock size rotors do work with the calipers are the new studs needed, or were they needed because the corvette rotors were used?

stock LS1 rotors? if so no... don't use them. CTS-V brakes are for 14" rotors not stock 12" rotor. You can use the corvette 14" rotor or the 2010 Camaro SS rotor
2) On Flynbye's will the brake lines for the CTS-V/LS1 conversion mentioned in the original post work for both front and rear brakes?
The CTS-V/LS1 conversion brake line kit is for fronts only. No need to upgrade rear brakes since you don't want axle hop during braking.
3) If the stock size rotors do work with the calipers are the new studs needed, or were they needed because the corvette rotors were used?
F-Body and corvette use same studs and bolt spacing so new studs are not necessary but seeing as I've broke a couple of them already and they are already at least 14 years old its a good idea to think about new ones.

6 Pistons will require spindles to be drilled out for larger 14mm bolts(vs stock and 4 piston 12mm)
also will require washers to center calipers on rotor (designed for 34mm rotors vs 32mm fbody rotors)
5th gen rotors best for both. pads will overhang on C6Z rotors.
