If it wasnt stated and you wanted to run 14" brakes im running C6 Zo6 front rotors on my CTS V and going to a 5lug setup. 1" spacers upfront to clear the Calipers.

The easiest way to get that answer is to talk to the guy making the adaptor, E Miller. If he hasn't been able to make it, then I doubt anyone is running that combo.

Excuse me, I read the entire post but I'm French and I don't undestand all.


someone made the full conversion with 14" Z06 Rotors ?

How brake lines use ?



And where to buy Z06 rotors ?

The full conversion was made with 14" Z06 rotors. If you read the whole thread, then you should have seen the pictures of it all bolted together.

Don't know about the brake lines. This kit requires sacrifices that most of us didn't want to make (i.e. new wheels or wheel spacers), so we never messed with the lines.

The rotors can be purchased at the dealer for about $114 each.

EB Miller sells the brake lines. There is a link to his website a little further back. You'll need to contact him for the details such as price because they are not on his website seperate.

Yes, I saw the pictures.
I wanted to know if someone had finished the installation, and you have answered this question.

I'll contact EB...

Thank You

ya you can get all the parts minus the brake lines from gmpartsdirect. EB Miller has done a good job at making a all-in-one package with all the parts needed. I will be doing this change as soon as i find out if the new LG Motorsports rims will work.

I'm waiting to see if the new ZR1s will clear. If they will, I'll post up pics of everything.

New ZR1s ('10+) should clear no problem. Might need a very small spacer, but i doubt it. The spokes are all very close to the face of the rim.

We shall see. If I can come up with an extra couple hundred bucks I'm going to order some. The non-sponsor vendor I talked to, will have them ready to ship by the end of the month. Price is good too...right at 950. Just don't know if I want 18s or 19s for the camaro. Probably 18s...tires are just too damn expensive for the 19s.

Ed has a full time job in addition to running his brake business after hours. He tends to get swamped with emails and it may take him a while to answer them.

Just so you know.
