2010 SS camaro brembo calipers vs 2004-2007 cts-v calipers?

Couldn't you use a 2mm sleeve with a 12MM Inner Diameter - 2mm - thus making a 14MM Outter Diameter to act as a bushing in the caliper mount hole on the Camaro Caliper?

i'm using the CTS calipers, I believe the rears are pretty much the same as the 5th gens rears. Im not really interested in setting up the rear calipers on the stock rearend because it's already known that the moving axles will cause pad knockback.... the rotor which is attached to the axle pushes the piston back in, causing a long pedal until you can pump it back out. I dont think this is an issue with non c-clip rears like the Ford 9 inch or a Dana 60. If someone can verify that, maybe we can piece the rear together and hopefully keep our parking brake working as well as having a much stronger rear and those beautiful Brembos in the back.

knockback is going to be an issue going to a fixed caliper like the 5th gen, but in my opinion a better caliper is needed out back, or a proportioning valve to adjust the fluid flow to the rear if staying with the smaller calipers. Our cars were built to have a 2 piston caliper in the front and the single piston in the rear, putting 4 piston calipers up front and keeping the single in the rear is causing an unbalanced condition, not really bad and not noticeable unless your hard on the brakes but it is there.
Im looking into a c clip eliminator if I choose to rebuild my 10 bolt (street only car, so im not worried about it breaking). With an eliminator kit a fixed piston caliper should be ok, if not ill be looking at a D60.

This is why it's very uncommon to see a guy who road races a Fbody upgrade the rear brakes. And also you'll note that you'll almost never see a guy run as aggressive as a pad in the rear as the front. There truly isn't much to benefit from it. And in fact, can cause too much rear braking, which we all know is a problem.

I lap my car and when you get on the brakes hard...the weight transfer to the front will cause the rears to lock inducing wheel hop. unless you enjoy f-body offroading...putting more stopping power in the rear may not be such a hot idea...to each their own...
