great write up here. I will be doing this very soon. I cant seem to find any calipers that come with the bolts. Think itll be ok to just run up to a local dealer and get new ones? Not sure about the cost of them yet.

Plus you have the bonus of the camaro calipers saying camaro instead of CTS-V... no painting, no stickers, DONE.

But you will have to space the caliper out with washers... Ill take drilling the spindle out (its such a small amount of material your taking out, I did it with a cordless dewalt drill) than try and space the caliper out... just me. Mine have been on for about 10,000 miles and no ill effect from drilling the holes. I wouldnt worry about weakening the spindle by drilling.

First off, I prefer the V-logo and the silver calipers. Secondly, if you use 2010+ Camaro rotors you dont have to space the caliper out. You do have to enlarge the hub opening on the rotor.

From what I have seen, the ctsv calipers are beginning to be a little difficult to find, and if your not a fan of rocking ctsv on a bright silver caliper, the camaro stuff is a little more low key and says camaro... again, options are nice.

So OP, did your oe wheels c5 z06 18 x 9.5 work without a spacer? And will 18 x 10.5 work without a spacer too?
I think the 18 x 9.5 is 56mm offset and the 18 x 10.5 is 58mm offset. I thought we needed a 40mm offset wheel to clear the 4-piston brembo's/5th gen rotors. If the oe wheels work without spacers I will be VERY HAPPY. I want to run 18 x 10.5 all the way around though. but I can settle for 18 x 9.5 (lol) if I have too. I just don't want to run any spacers at all. And I want to be able to track the car without the caliper hitting the wheels mid corner.
I don't want them to seem like they fit and then end up slamming into the wheel the first time I take a hard corner.

You can run them with 17" wheels, just have to do some grinding....https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...s-17-rims.html

Offset is less of an issue with wheels designed for BBK. +38 on a 9.5 wheel for mine.
Clear 1/8" ish hose....

No need to thank me, but I had paintscratch.com add the touchup paint for the 04-06 CTS-v calipers to their website....
