im looking for a brake upgrade for my 01SS and have noticed that the CTS-V calipers are very hard to get to now, there are a few sets of 2010 SS brake sets on ebay for a reasonable price though. they are both 4 piston brembo calipers, but will the camaro calipers bolt up to the LS1 spindle like the CTS-V calipers will? If they do ill probably pick up a complete set and find a way to adapt the rear calipers and rotors, seems a suitable upgrade!!

 

interesting idea.

i'd be curious to know the answer as well.

prices on the camaro calipers are still reasonable, $307 for all 4 front and rear! im gonna call a dealer tomorrow and see if i can get a technical drawing for both the camaro and cts-v brembos. the camaro rotors are a slightly different pattern but the corvette rotors should work just like with the cts-v rotors.

 

Would be a great "custom" look caliper with the word "CAMARO" writen on the caliper!

 

yeah it would!!

plus with larger rotors and wider tires it will stop better!!

will the stock brake master cylinder work fine with these or any larger brake system?

from what i read in another brake upgrade thread on here. to bolt the '10 Camaro calipers to the spindle you will have to re-drill the bolt hole as the '10 Camaro calipers bolt hole size is 14mm and our cars are 13mm. The Z06 rotors should still work though.

didnt know the '10 Camaro calipers were that cheap!

 

One of the benifits of putting a 4 piston caliper on a higher volume car. w00t economies of scale!
Now...question. Did you buy the ones with the weights on them? Remember they had that vibration/squeel problem with the first batch.

 

Does that mean that one could still run 17" wheels?

 

i dont think they will work with 17" wheels, pretty much the same set up as the cts-v calipers and 14" zo6 rotors. you will still need to space the caliper out to center it on the rotor, i plan on having a couple spacers made instead of using washers, for better stability. as for the bolt size difference, im going to try and use a sleeve in the caliper instead of drilling out the spindle.

 

VERY interesting!

Keep us posted.

 

Hey Mike@ZMS : https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...r-17-zr1s.html

 

anymore progress with this??

If you got these prices from GMPartsDirect you are in for a let down When you actually goto purchase the calipers they are almost $600 just for the front ones

 

Stock master cylinder works fine. Actually, it works perfectly. The pedal grabs right at the top, and pedal travel is extremely linear and easy to modulate.

Our cars use a 12mm bolt hole in the stock front caliper brackets. The '10 Camaro uses 14mm I believe, so you would have to drill the stock spindles out to a 14mm hole. No need to tap it though, because the bolt threads into the caliper, not the spindle.

 

Updates?

 

I see the CTSV calipers are $50 more than the 2010 SS calipers. Anyone know the benefits of the CTSV calipers?

 

Check a couple posts up. The CTS-V calipers bolt on, the 2010SS calipers require drilling the stock spindles out. Stock calipers and CTS-V use 12mm bolts, 2010SS use 14mm.Once you drill out the spindles there is no going back.

 

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?

any updates from people using these?

Partstaxi.com had the 2007 CTS-v calipers for about $165 a piece. I just ordered mine through them as well as the pin kits. I'm going to run the 5th gen camaro rotors though for better bad contact.
