Looks killer man! I love those new Weld wheels. I might have to upgrade myself.
So let me get this straight. The Brembo's you used are from a 5th gen Camaro? Whereas the CTS-V calipers others use are from the older CTS-V's, and they are larger than the 5th gen Camaro ones?
Therefore, with the 5th gen Brembo's, you use your 4th gen rotor and machine the hub down? Is it possible to use the 5th gen rotor?
Thanks in advance.

Stangkilr, your car just keeps getting better and better. Huge props on a sick *** car..
I want to do this soon also, I've been looking into this or cts-v brakes. Also going to stuff them under 17s. Let me know if you do this, I think I'm going to do whichever has the most clearance inside the wheel. I know cts-v brakes require no drilling of the spindle and also no machining of the rotor, but if for whatever reason these are easier to fit inside a 17" wheel I'll do these instead. I just don't want to get a big nice pretty brake kit and it only clear the inside of my wheel be a couple mm, just a little close for my taste if I can avoid it. Let me know if you do rears also.
idk, only one way to find out. i am gonna order the calipers, and install them in place with no rotors (not required for fitment) and see where to go from there.
my only issue is that i my wheels when they were ballanced, have the stick on weighs right on the inside lip of the wheels, so they will need to be re-balanced cause i will be removing the stick on weights.
