Man that looks awesome! I really need to get my 18s.....

Sweet! Looks like I just found my next project. If the clearance to the wheel on this setup (cts-v/2010 Camaro) is anything like the cts-v/zo6 combination then I will need a spacer for my 18inch C5 zo6 wheels. With my stock brake setup, I have 1inch of clearance between caliper and rim. Using the zo6 rotor I would need 1/4 inch more of clearance, does anyone know if it will be the same for this setup?

It should be the same since you are still using the same caliper. The only difference is the camaro rotor has a more matched contact surface area than the z06 rotor.
I used the Eibach spacers listed in the other thread and its been holding up great.

I am pretty sure the offset of the SS rotor is different. You don't have to use washer between the knuckle and caliper. Should help with wheel spacing and maybe a thinner spacer.

Thanks for that info. According to another write up (https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...ll-w-pics.html), this guy used 2 Grade 8 M12 washes or 1/2 washers to line up caliper with the rotor. I don't know the thickness of the washers that were used, but as you stated I would probably need to go with a thinner spacer for the wheel to clear the caliper.

With the 2010 camaro SS rotor you do not need to use the 2 washers. The offset on the rotor and the pad contact area is correct for the CTS-V calipers. The washers push the caliper 3/16" to 1/4" closer to the wheel spokes.

did u use the stock gm 2010 ss rotor? or was it a aftermarket rotor for a2010 ss? here is an option aswell. has anyone ever used these?

I used aftermarket from a company called brake performance. The stock ones are warping pretty easily on the 2010 cars. There are quite a few aftermarket options. I highlighted some of them in an earlier post. The guys on the camaro5 forum seemed to like the ones you linked.

Thanks, I am hoping that the 2010 Camaro rotor would be at least a quarter inch inboard then the zo6 rotor. This would allow me to run my wheels w/o a spacer. From your post, I guess its going to be close. I'll start ordering the parts within the next couple of weeks.

Did you do any research on the 2010 SS calipers?

Yes, they are physically the same and will work, but the caliper mounting bolt holes on the spindle will need to be drilled out to accept the larger mounting bolt. Also the stock pads that come with the 2010 SS calipers have the roller skate wheels that are supposed to be used to absorb vibration. If you see a picture of the pads you will see why they call them that.

I did the 2010 SS brakes on my 02' Z28. I had to bore out the center of the rotors as done in this post and also bore out my bolt holes on the spindle where it bolts up to the caliper (12mm to 14mm if I remember right). Also I had to cut off the "roller skate" ears off of the pads.

I'm trying to do a round up of calipers for a new, cheap BBK.

4 piston CTS-V is still cheap at $300 a pair or so.
4 piston Camaro SS is over $500.
6 piston CTS-V is over $700.
6 piston Vette is over $750.

Are there any others out there I'm missing?

AFAIK, the Vette and SS run 14" rotors.
Are the 6 piston setups 14" as well? Anyone know?

CTS-V 6 piston rotor 09-10 looks to be 370mm = 14.5".

If it's not too expensive I might be able to match it up with the 4 piston calipers.
Nope, that 6 piston rotor is too thick for the 4 piston calipers.

Only problem, I can't find the OEM rotors. Dang!

Rock Auto shows them for $260ea. I wonder if that is correct?

Hey Turbo, do you know if the new camaro rotors are being sold at local parts stores yet? They seem cheaper than the vette rotors. Plus I like blanks.

When I looked locally no one had them yet. I checked Napa, autozone, oreilly, knects, and baxter autoparts. They all had listings but when they went to check availability they could not order them yet.

Jason try contacting Brakemotive on here. Their having a big sale and I was told $125 for 2010 SS rotors up front with stock F-body rears. That was for blanks by the way.

Ok, so just to get this straight, the SS 4 piston calipers are basically the same as the CTS-V, correct? I've read that the CTS-V calipers aren't available anymore, and the part numbers don't work on GM Parts Direct. And to top it off, my buddy who was the parts department manager at the local dealer just quit, so no hookup on the parts, leaving with the 2010 SS calipers to go with since last I looked, no CTS-V calipers were to be found on E-bay. So, basically, all I need is the 2010 rotors, 2010 calipers, and a set of lines, correct? The machining shouldn't be a problem.

Does anybody know anything about the CTS-V 6 piston calipers though? They look very similar to the Z06 calipers, which from what I've heard aren't so great...If there better than the 4 piston though, they would be ideal, since I'm not concerned with the price. It's all cheaper than something like the Brembo GT setup, so I'd be content with a few extra hundred to get the same braking performance...

I can't help you much on most of your questions, but I know the 6 piston CTS-V calipers are made for a thicker 34mm rotor. 4th and 5th gen F-body and C5/C6 vettes all use 32mm thick rotors.

I suppose you could make some backing plates from 20ga steel sheet and glue or epoxy them onto the back of the pads. That would easily let you run the thinner rotor with no fear of a piston extending too far and getting cocked sideways in the bore when the pads and rotors get wore down.

Shoot, 2mm may not even be that big a deal.

I haven't heard of anyone running the 6 piston CTS-V calipers on a 4th gen yet.
