Front

• CTS-V/ZL1 6-Piston brake calipers and rotor are 100% bolt on to a Gen5 Camaro with no modifications needed. Because of the lower feed/mount potions on the 6-piston caliper for the brake line you will need a longer bake line than the stock SS has. A ZL1 stock line or SS braided lines for a ZL1 will work for the front and rear. DO NOT tray to make the stock SS line work.

Rear

• Gen5 Camaro SS, SS/1LE and ZL1 rear calipers are all the same. (sans paint color)

• Gen1 CTS-V Calipers are similar, however they do not have the notch near the mounting bolt to clear the Gen5 Camaro rear shield that protects the E-Brake. The shield can be notch or the caliper can be ground for clearance, but I don't recommend either. (order the Gen2)

• Gen2 CTS-V Calipers are a better match for the Gen5 Camaro as they have the notch needed to bolt directly on to the Gen5 Camaro. You MUST keep the left caliper on the left side and the right caliper on the right side. There are two pistons in the caliper, a large and a small (leading and trailing) and the pistons control taper wear.

• Gen2 Fitment: Because the GEN2 CTS-V has forward mounted calipers and the GEN5 Camaro has rearward you need to keep them on the same side of the car so you will need to swap the bleeders and crossover lines top to bottom. The calipers are painted after assembly so the paint will crack were the line wrench contacts the cross over line. I suggest you remove the paint before had on the contact surface as it makes it easy to use the wrench. Once the cross over are swapped top to bottom with the bleeders you are good to go!

Thank you to my contact at the General that answers my text all the time!

I had to remove my LF dust sheild. I coudnt get the caliper to reach the bolt holes without being stopped by the sheild.

Is there another alternative for the rotors. 800$ for just rotors is insane.

There are the brembo ones from rock auto mentioned on previous page, looks like basically same thing but at around $600 for a pair, still a lot for just the rotors but it's less then alternative, I think CTSV front rotors are a little cheaper, feel like I remember a single piece one that was supposedly lighter that costs a good bit less.

Lots of choices on Rock Auto

I bought some Centric brand on there.

They(centric) also make Power Stop and Stop Tech as well

Thanks. I forgot about rock auto. Was looking at partsgeek, but I'm not confident with their fitment guide.
