yeh i was refering to the z06 calipers, i was just wondering because you can get them new for a decent price, so i was wondering if they would fit on the camaro hubs with the cts v brakes, just trying to see what else might work, as the ctsv brakes are awsome but $$$$$ i am getting the lt so i think the 6piston fronts might be way too over kill might just stick with the ss upgrade

I'm assuming since the SS brakes will fit on the V6 as long as you have large enough wheels, that these will also. However, I'm unsure if the brake lines will work for this type of setup, or if the master cylinder would have to be replaced to handle the much (much!) larger brake system. Any insights?
If it could work, I'd gladly add this to my list of future mods. - X

Pete, Could someone upgrade ONLY the Front brake setup with the CTS-V parts?
It appears the REAR Calipers,Rotor size, and pads are the same as the Camaro Rear.. Correct? Do you gain anything by upgrading the rear setup? From your writeup in the first post, it seems as if you did it so the caliper colors would match. I can see a benefit to doing the front setup.. not sure what you gained from swapping the rear setup. |

You're right about needing acess to a GM service center at times. That is why I really appreciate the access I have at Witt, especially when doing GM based R & D. The master cyclinders are different on a six. Full retail on a new master is ONLY $123.81 so we are not talking big bucks. If there is a six owner looking to upgrade we would like to do it here at Witt. Then we can post the results here.

Paul will be racing at Indy this year and I will be attending the Indy 500 for the first time. 1st Indy, Paul Tracy, Pit Passes -- can it get any better? The answer is yes, but I can't say any more at this time.
