You would have to make a custom brackets and take numerous measurements make sure everything lines up and nothing hits or interferes with each other. They look like a completely different design to the CTS-V calipers.
Somebody here should have some picture of CTS-V calipers to compare.

For one they are not radial mount calipers. This makes mounting them on a custom bracket much easier. Those are exactly the same as the smaller 4 pots used on porsches, WRXs and some others. Do a search on WRX calipers on ebay, you will see those gold calipers are the same, with the same lug mount instead of radial mounts

Post more pics of the front calipers. They look a lot like ctsv/new camaro calipers. Wouldn't be suprised if they worked in the front.
