Cant say Thank you enough Dropspeed. I ordered my calipers this morning. I'll order rotors in a couple weeks and then the little stuff. Should have everything I need by end of summer. Good thing we can race year round down here.

Should get my rotors this afternoon, Instead of getting a squared 20" set up... would a 18" setup with some meatier tires work with the fronts?

I believe square is square. The only difference is that you get more tire selection with the 18's over the 20's. Also you will need to make sure you have caliper clearence. I've seen guys have to grind the LCA bolts or caliper tabs to clear 18's. Eventually I'll be going with a 19".

Speaking of square set up. I was wondering what is lighter. Suppose you have a wheel/tire combo in 19" and 20" with the exact same overall dimensions. Assume that you have the lightest or at least pretty light wheel the tire isn't really controllable as far as weight is concerned. What are we talking about in weight savings? Also you have more sidewall to squirm on the 19".
I wonder if the 19" is necessarily the better option. This of course is all in a road course scenario, the rules are different for 1/4 mile... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

The Z28 tire height is 26.2 with 19 inch tires and 30 sidewall. So it has even less side wall then the 1le or ZL1. But it has a lower center of gravity for for track benefits of course.

Are the amazon ac delco parts real Brembo's or are they something else?
In other words if I bought a stock CTS-V, would this be the same caliper?

Rotors from Brake Performance arrived today. I'll post in this thread again once I get them installed or if there are any issues that come up.

Those are one piece? I'm trying to find a two piece for the rear that would match the AC Delco two piece listed on the first page. Racing Brake has them but their $1300 a pair and are slotted. DBAs don't look like two piece. If I could find all four for the prices listed on Amazon that'd be great. Point of this thread is to save money yet gain performance right?

Just got the bolts.
They are 2 3/4" long with a stem length of 2 1/4". They do fit the CTS/V calipers and are coated with some locking substance on about 1 inch from the ends. These are the last piece of my brake upgrade puzzle. Once my car comes back from the shop I need to solve my hood vent drainage problem. Next comes the brakes.
