Attention CTS-V Big Brake Swappers! Hi Everyone,
I have a 2001 camaro SS and am having some 19" DPE wheels made. I would like to do the CTS-V front brake caliper upgrade after I get my wheels made as I cannot afford both at the same time and need the wheels first. DPE is requiring three specs from the big brake swap. I would appreciate it if a few people who have done this swap could provide me with the A,B, and C measurements of the caliper location. Below is a picture of the measurements I need labeled A,B,C. Also please state if you used washers to space the caliper bracket.
Thanks a ton!

@LPE, thanks for the reply! So the CTS-V calipers are the same calipers that come in the 98-02 Fbody kit?
I cant seem to find the measurements, do you have the spec sheet for the calipers?

Just thought about it and regardless, I need the ABC measurements which come from a mounted setup. Any CTS-V swappers want to do me a big favor and measure your setup?
thanks!
thanks!

Do you already have CTS-V calipers?
I bought a V in May and installed new rotors. The previous owner had galled the thread on one of the mounting bolts for the caliper.
I went to my local GM parts guy and they are unavailable.
Now this was about 3 months ago, but It's not the only CTS-V part that is now made of unobtainium.
If you don't already have calipers, I would make sure you can source them before you go to a lot of trouble having custom rotors made.
