I just replaced my original OEM calipers with some CTS-V calipers I had powder coated Corvette yellow.

Since I had Hawk low dust pads with less than 5K miles on them, I just swapped pads from the old calipers to the new. I did reuse some of the hardware from the old calipers to mount the pads on the new.

The only issue I ran into is the rear ZL1 calipers are notched at the lower mounting hole to fit around the rear cooling plate behind the rotor. My friend who helped me install the calipers was able to dremel out a similar notch on the rear CTS-V calipers.
