CTS-V brakes, something different

and as for caliper clearance i guess I should measure for about 1.25 inches just to be safe? And would the rear cts-v calipers be a direct bolt on too?

Yes I have a 2002 trans am. And as for the brake hoses, I would like to get steel braided brake hoses, do I get the hoses for a f-body or cts-v?

I'm guessing you want to do the rears for appearance sake?
I have no clue about their fitment.

i wanna double check everything, im currently going to hunt for some 13.4 rotors from a Z51 c6 and some evo brembo calipers and im going to make my own brackets, if this is all successful then we can maybe start selling the brackets to put all this together.

so the caliper sits a inch closer to the wheel then a factory set up does? does it push the wheel out any? i have a 18inch 3 peice Iforged and i think i can get these to work in theroy depending if it moves the wheel anywhere.

This stuff does not move the wheel out any. The only thing between the wheel and spindle hub is the brake rotor hub section. The vette rotor and the F-body rotor are realatively the same thickness there. You had better have an unusually large gap between your wheel and stock caliper if you want any chance at all of bolting this on. If you have a wheel that clears the CTS-V caliper, it is a bolt on with the vette rotor.

How 'bout a 14" kit with a C5/C6 base/Z51 PBR caliper?
![](http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/ebmiller88/ZO6%2014%20inch%20setups/PIC00007.jpg)
OR, a 14" kit using a Wilwood 6 piston SL6 caliper?

We can do a lot of things here if you aren't stuck on the caliper.

Btw, i am looking for after market rotors for this setup, is DBA rotors any good?

I heard about the oem rotors not being directional so I would like to know what other choices I have for rotors? And has anyone figured out which brake hose to use?

The caliper adds about 3/4" and the Vette rotor offset adds about 1/4". That's why I said you need about 1" of spoke clearance if you have stock F-body rotors right now.
Kore3 has offered those brackets for a year or 2 already.
Not only are there a lot more choices, they are much cheaper - as well as much thicker which means they will last longer.
