That means that I can do the same with my 4th gen.....as long as the 6P fits inside the wheel....but it should right? I have Z06 18s on the front...and they came with 6P calipers......

And the 6P calipers are cheaper than the Camaro 4P ones on Amazon.....
$270 vs. $320

Has anyone seen 6P CTSV cailpers on a 4th gen?
yes..there are a few people on here that have done it. The Alchemist is one that comes to mind. run a search and you'll see a few threads on it.

nice setup, and for your guys info TT2 rims have less clearence than stock wheels, not many brake kits out there that will work, C5 Z06 brakes even have issues on TT2s

I flushed the whole system but unfortunately didnt know about the damn abs module that can only be bled through tech II software so still have to find somewhere to take it to bleed that as I still get weird pedal feel before the brakes heat up

Do you know if the rear calipers on the 5th gen will fit the rears of a 4th gen

Parts Required/Used
-2010 camaro Brembo front calipers (make sure spindle/caliper bolts are included)- 250$ from Cleveland Pick Apart (http://stores.ebay.com/Cleveland-Pick-A-Part)
- Brake lines from kore3 Industries- 55$
- 14" 2010 Camaro SS rotors from ebay 150$
- Have the inside bore of the rotors machined to 70.7mm by local machine shop - 40$
- Hawk HPS pads- 113$ on ebay
- I had calipers painted red with white Brembo letters- 40$
- 9/16 drill bit- 15$ from Home Depot to drill out holes in the spindle

Really as simple as removing your old calipers and rotors, drilling the spindle to 9/16" holes, replacing the brake lines, putting on new rotors, bolt calipers on (the bolts thread into the calipers)

**NOTE** 18x9.5 C5 Z06 wheels do NOT require wheel spacers

Hope this helps and feel free to PM me with any questions
