The Official what you need and how-to for CTS-V brakes

OK So an update as to my rear Cts-v project... the calipers are going to need a bracket in order to install them..they are off by about 1/2". The mounting bolts however are the correct size so that's a plus lol...I think the caliper needs to be spaces off the spindle about 1/4 of an inch as well. I will be designing a bracket soon and will CNC a prototype as well
 


sure... they look just like the fronts really, just smaller... as for the e-brake i wont be utilizing it... even if i were to do the rear gxp conversion i wouldn't use it either... i am going to start next week designing a bracket.. my roommate is an aerospace engineer so he will draw it up in AutoCad and then another buddy just bought a 5-axis CNC :p

Just did a quick read through and some research and was wondering aren't these the same exact Brembo brakes that are used on other cars like the SRT8 and Evo as well as subaru vehicles and others of course. They look exactly the same and i highly doubt brembo would change there calipers bolt up pattern for every car they went on. Based on what little research i have done of course. lol

Yup Brembo has a pretty generic design for these, these are the same off the '10 Camaro, G8 GXP, CTS-V, STS-V, Evo and I'm sure there are many others, sometimes the do change the bracket for mounting a little but I'm sure they all could take the same brake pads LOL.

Ha I'm sure, but over all same design which gives us more option to look at as far as buying them goes. I am pretty sure the srt8 are the same as well just wouldn't make much sense for brembo to change there setups for every different car they went on lol

Got my CTS-V brakes today. Got them from Amazon for $229.00 shipped to my door.
On Amazon search for
ACDelco 172-2287 Caliper Assembly
ACDelco 172-2288 Caliper Assembly

Here are some pictures next to the stock brake calipers.

Just checked amazon and these are even cheaper now. $104 a piece
 


Be careful that it is the right part... may want to call Amazon to double check... because when I ordered the rear caliper... they sent me an e-brake pad. But the part number that was with the pad matched the rear caliper p/n... just a heads up for anyone ordering

Its the one buickman used. Caliper Assembly is in the title.
 
It was the title when I ordered it too.. also the picture was of the caliper... don't know what happened but it was a pain to return and get the correct thing.. just a heads up is all
