i thought the goal was to get CTSV brembos on a 4th gen Fbody. last time i checked the issue was finding a 5 lug rotor that puts the rotor in the correct place for the caliper. just seeing if anyone thought of it and tried it.
but if you want to make nasty posts without thinking about what the person is saying, you could probably go ahead and continue doing that.

I'm guessing your not aware of it, but the C6 Z06 rotor fits perfectly. The caliper bolts right onto the LS1 spindle. I have a thread all about it with pictures of it on cars and everything. This rotor is 14", but we might be able to squeeze the 13.5" rotor under a 17" rim using a bracket. EB Miller is working on that.
Now what I'm assuming is your talking about is a 13" rotor. Does the new camaro use a 13" rotor? I have no clue. I can say with high certainty that NO 13" rotor can be used with this caliper due to it's long mounting lugs.

it is VERY hard to follow this tread. i found the thread where you got the C6 Z06 rotors to work with the CTS-V brembo pad. very nice. i was just wondering if using the new camaro brembo calipers or rotors would eliminate the need for spacers or not.
here is the thread where the C6 Z06 rotor with the CTS-V caliper is. https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...-kit-info.html
now even the new CTS-Vs come with brembos, and they are 5 lug, wondering if they would be a direct bolt on also.

Fella's, did we ever talk about running the 6 piston vette calipers on a smaller 13.5" vette rotor for the guys with 17" rims to have some bling?
In theory, it might work. There are brackets that adapt the LS1 over to the C5 and C6 Vette rotor offset using 2 piston calipers. I think the 6 piston caliper swap on a C5 or C6 car is a bolt on swap. So maybe it can be made to work on an LS1 car, too?

I'm doing a C5 swap on my car sometime soon (just waiting for my brake lines to come in), so I could check the C6Z caliper while I'm in there...I know where one is that I could probably borrow.
Just keep in mind, stock C6Z pads suck...and there are 12 of them (and they are expensive). Carbotech makes a one piece pad that is awesome...but also pricey.

I don't think so...but I could be wrong. I think the caliper would have to be spaced forward (which won't happen on an fbody spindle) due to the rotor offset difference. So it might not work after all.

All comes back down to a coversion bracket. We were lucky enough to find out that the Zo6 rotor worked with the Caddy caliper. Hopfully EB Miller will have one soon. Great thing is that with the right bracket, the zo6 or the caddy caliper would be interchangable.

The fact is, both of these calipers are setup for big 14" rotors so their mounting lugs are just too long for a 13" rotor. Luckely 1.25" rotor thickness is common.
I think for a 17" rim, were going to have to find a radial mount caliper that is somewhat affordable and mate it to the 13" vette rotor.

This might have been mentioned already, but the new Camaro has very nice Brembo calipers on it. Not sure what size rotors. Saw one today and the brakes looked sweet.
