On the camaro caliper, the crossover tube is on the side with the smaller piston. Because the caliper sits on the leading edge of the rotor on the cadillac, rather than the trailing edge like the camaro, the crossover tube is on the side with the larger piston.

The reason for the difference is pad wear and taper. The leading edge wears faster and generates more heat, so to compensate for it, perfomance caliper manufacturers put smaller pistons on the leading edge.

Fronts are oriented the same on both cars, so if doing a front only upgrade there is no issue.

Just some friendly advice from your local powdercoater.

I was under the impression that the rear calipers were the same besides the color. So no real reason to swap them.
