Do you need the brake lines with the 90 in it at the banjo fitting or will the straight line work? should i just get the 2010+ camaro front line?

The stock lines nor the Corvette/CTS lines will fit properly. Contact a place like
KORE3 (not sure if they are a vendor on here but they are listed in the CTS-V sticky?) and see what they recommend based on what your application is.

They very well could, but I'd call one of those places like KORE3 to confirm.

If you refer to this package the lines are different in the photos. The one you provided has a bent fitting.

The link dojob provided is correct. The picture in the link you provided is a stock photo of some other lines without bent fitting.

You want the bent fitting.

That link means
-ctsv front calipers
-stock rear calipers

all lines are braided

But confirm if you have traction control (4ch abs) or not (3ch abs). The difference means 6 lines for 4ch abs and 5 lines for 3ch abs

but yes call and confirm and tell them what you need and what your car has, then there's no confusion on both ends.

So from my gathering, running a 20x9 with a 27mm offset shouldn’t require a spacer?

Well, the TSW Stowe's fit the bird perfectly, but once I got the 6P calipers weeeellllll that changed, so now I think I've found another cool wheel that looks like this can be made to fit without spacers but we'll see, the TSW Sebring (18x9.5/40mm)











looks really nice in person, so I guess I'll just have to sell the Stowe's now .... the Bear Claw pics are just for color reference as i'll be choosing one of those colors for my calipers, the silver is just too damn boring lol

Nice! I have a set of 4 piston 5th gen Brembo’s. I’m still trying to decide on wheels, either 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 C5 wheels or C6 ZR1wheels. Personally I want the C5 deep dish wheels but my wife likes the ZR1 wheels.

How did you fit the rear calipers? I was told they do not direct bolt on.

I forgot the site, but someone makes a kit for this. You need to remove your axles and swap the stock backing plates for their plates. I think Big Brake Upgrade or maybe it’s Kore?

where did you get the Rotors from? I'm finding it hard to find cheap ones for under 260'ish a piece.
