I was just wondering if any of you guys with the conversion kit could measure the complete diameter of the rotor AND the caliper from the edge of the rotor to the furthest edge of the caliper. Thanks!

hi, FYI there is a right front CTS-V caliper on ebay $130 shipped.
I asked and they replied they dont have both, or a better price.

These may have shorter legs on them.

Some on ebay

Wasn't the CTS-V calipers $116 each without pads and clips and with them around $145ea or so? Those clips are important, plus I hear the pads are pretty good, so it makes real good sense to get the caliper/pad combo.
I know this is a dead thread, but I found a picture of the Cobalt SS brakes, and they look like they did have shorter legs...
