Having read and read and trying to decide what to do to stop this car I talked with my mechanic friend and showed him some threads on here about CTS-V brakes and he said he could make it work with 17 inch rims.

Calipers are the 4 piston CTS-V and the rotors are the 13.4 inch Z06 rotors. We had to use 3/4 inch spacers to get enough room but I think they turned out nice and even though I haven't had a chance to really try them out they felt great on the way home.

Here are the pics and I apologize for the quality, it was raining when I took them a few minutes ago.

ill be curious what your pad overhang will be like with some use with using the smaller rotors.

front view? do your tires stick out at all?

They are about even now with the quarter panels, which is honestly the only the only thing I am not happy about with all of this. It really doesn't look bad but since I know how it looked before I can tell, if that makes sense. I do not have any pics but can get some tomorrow if you'd like to see.

13.4" rotors? Did you get a custom caliper bracket?

necrocannibal

iTrader: (5)

No. The only thing that was installed was the calipers, rotors, brake pads and wheel spacers.

Looks good, I am thinking about doing this with my 17's Fikse FM5's.

+1 on fitting 13.4" brakes inside 17" wheels. Good job

When I get around to it I will make sure I post it up. Right now though the car is in pieces as I am going from the front to the back redoing everything.

Wow great to see these fitting under 17" wheels even with a spacer.

How much room do you have between the caliper and the wheel barrel?

necrocannibal

iTrader: (5)

Not much, a few millimeters. Unless something dramatic happens it won't be an issue though.

On a side note I took it out today since it was the first non rain day in a while and tested the set up out a little and from about 55 mph I got into the brakes pretty hard and it about threw me through the front window. I wasn't expecting that much clamping force but it made a huge difference in how quickly I can come to a stop.

Is that the LS caliper on there in the first pic?

What pads were you using before & after?

necrocannibal

iTrader: (5)

First pic is stock Camaro calipers. The pads were Hawk pads but not sure which ones, I bought he car with them on already.

The pads I am using now are the stock CTS-V pads.

Hey, thanks for putting this together! I went home, looked at where my wheels sit in the wheel well and decided to give this a crack. One thing to note, you said you used Z06 rotors. I almost accidentally ordered the wrong rotors on RockAuto because I searched by vehicle and not P/N. The P/N for the 13.4" rotor is 89060328... I almost accidentally ordered the 14" rotors.

What did you do for a brake line? I haven't gotten into it yet as I just ordered parts, but do you have braided brake lines already or did you just bolt on the stock lines?

necrocannibal

iTrader: (5)

I just used the stock lines. Only parts used were calipers, padd, rotors and spacers.

Freaking awesome, thanks! That would put me around $600 for this set-up, as I already have a set of 1" wheel adapters. Not bad for a nice brake upgrade!

That's about what I have in mine and yes it is not bad at all for some Brembos.

Yes it is. Thanks for the idea and the help when I asked a few questions. Everything worked pretty much exactly as you said it would.
