So I have not seen the CTS-V caliper, but based on JusticePete's response above, the larger piston is on the leading edge. Not sure if this is true or not, but if it is, did Cadillac screw up?

Here are a few pics from one of the G8 guys who took Camaro calipers and installed them on the rear.

You can see the larger piston is on the side with the crossover tube, which is the leading piston when installed on the G8 the same as when installed on the Camaro, and also seems to match the Cadillac.
