I can get the cts-v 4 pot calipers for $310 shipped (front pair) for a short time. If anyone is interested let me know.

Aye, if the stock holes are 13mm as stated above, you would still have to drill the hole out to 14mm to run a spacer bushing, the one most suitable for this is www.mcmaster.com # 6679K16, which is a bronze bushing specifically meant for this kind of bolt adaptation, this is all assuming you are wanting to run cts-v1 (my04-07) front 4 piston brembos, or drill them out for 14mm bolts for the camaro ones.

Plenty of guys using the 2010 front camaro calipers now but what about the rears??

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.

I don't necessarily agree with you that our cars will be unbalanced with a 4 piston up front. I believe that's our cars from the factory have too much rear braking, so adding a better braking components up front, will actually help balance the system as a whole.

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.

The CTS-v brake set up sounds like a great idea but is it possible to get the rear brake to work or I just have to use the ls1 rear brakes I have?

+1 to Black Z28's post...

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...

Why can't you just add a brake bias **** and dial out the stronger rear bias?
