Sweet! Thanks for the order! When are you installing them?

Yep no real benefit. Your stock rear Brembo brakes are a great match for the CTS-V front calipers.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

The function of the SS and CTS-V rears are the same.

side by side they look identical . The only thing different to me look to be the pistons. The SS ones were solid and an small hole in the middle, as the V ones were hollow and seemed lighter.

has anyone swapped master cylinders to the zl1 master when doing the upgrade

Thanks JDP, these were painted rather than powdercoated, I always thought the paint makes them look wet vs powder coat.

A number of 6 cylinder owners have swapped master cyclinders along with the CTS-V calipers. There are details about the swaps on the forum.

If you use the CTS-V brakes they will discolor no matter how you finish them.

Okay, I thought that looked a little too good for the G2 system. Let us know how they hold up

I used the G2 custom paint in IOM. I first brushed the paint on. HUGE mistake, as it come out terrible. Had to media blast, and chemically remove the epoxy. Waste of $100. When I reprinted I sprayed the paint on and came out way better.
