Installed 5th gen Brembo's on my '02 Camaro

Pretty simple install. Got the calipers, pads and pins from the dealership. Got the rotors from slp as take -off parts. I painted the calipers to match my car. My 17x5 Weld RTS wheels should be here any day now.

Two things I had to do. Use a 9/16 drill bit and drill the spindle holes out for the larger caliper bolts and then machine the rotor for the hub. The factory 98-02 fbody hub is just a tad larger.

Are you going to machine out the center of the wheel to fit the 4th gens hub? 70.64mm I think...

I'm curious to see this set-up!

They told me that wont be an issue. We will see. If I have to do that, it wont be a big deal. It is very little shaving

i grinded down some ctsv calipers to clear my 17s. ALMOST fit. but my ccws taper inside the wheel, so they dont fit. if the wheel didnt taper, im sure they would clear just fine. pm me if you have any questions. im going to be selling the calipers soon too.
