there is a thread or two on it, but all the pictures are gone:

The front 6 pistons (The fronts of the CTS-V and ZL1 are identical other than color and labels) do but the rear 4 piston do not. The reason the rears don't fit is because the CTS-V uses forward mounted rear calipers, If you do the upgrade just use the rear SS brembos. Also when ordering stainless steel lines you can have to order the ZL1 setup in order for it to work.

You have to modify them to work...


You dont need them because the rear brembos on the CTS-V and Zl1 are the same as the SS's... you just need the front calipers.

It's possible to get them to work but it requires modifications to the caliper and the car. Which is not recommended.

But just like lil nasty said there is no need for either the CTS-V or ZL1 rear calipers, they are the same as your stock Brembos.

Rears are the same, just the location changes on the mounting. so the bleeders and crossover tubes are the only differences.

I install front and rear CTSV calipers. Of course I had them all disassembled to be painted IOM. I sold the full SS system to a G8 car. When they rebuilt the calipers they built it so the leaders were in top and cross over tube was on the bottom.
