CTS-V Brakes on FBody???
I wonder if anybody has done it yet? They look to be about the same size as the new Z06's brakes. I'd like to upgrade for well......added safety reason

The CTS-V has 6 lugs, the f-body has 5 lugs.
Therefore you cant use the rotors.
You might be able to make brackets and use the calipers though with larger rotors (like Corvette rotors).

Other than the rotors and special brackets, I couldn't possibly see why they couldn't. Just hope the total cost won't break the bank like many of the Big Brake Kit's out there. Has anyone sourced the price of the calipers?
EDIT: I'd also like to see if it would be possible to have a kit that will fit the wheels like what you currently have, because getting new wheels or using hub spacers/adapters sux.

well i know my price, but i work at a dealership. The fronts are $215 a piece, I didnt even check the back price But then U will always have people who wreck them. So I was gonna start keeping my eye out for them for sale at junk yards.
