big brake conversion
Well i want basically bigger rotors and bigger calipers for my f body both in the front and rear but i need help i know wildwood and stop tech make the front ones but i was not able to find the rear ones so maybe they dont make them??? Maybe they do??? So i was thinking if im able to use the 2010 camaro brembo calipers or the CTS-V calipers or Z06 calipers both front and rear but also get bigger rotors also for the front and rear if so how big and what kind?? What else i need for the conversion besides rotos calipers and pads

Looks like they might have separate kits for various GM 10 bolt rear ends. That being said.. how big are the rear C6 brakes? If they are a lot bigger you don't want too much rear brake bias when getting on the brakes hard or else you will have brake hop. And that can break your rear end. You will probably want to put a brake bias controller if this is the case.

I'd advise you to print off some templates before you go thinking you have enough clearance just because you have larger diameter wheels - the spoke design plays a much larger role in whether or not a caliper will fit. You'll notice that fixed calipers, like the C6ZO6 and Stoptech ones, require more room to be able to clear the spokes.
