The Brembo brakes from the 2010 Camaro SS don't play nicely with the second-gen F-body spindle (GM tall-spindle) due to the quite long mounting ears on the caliper castings. You can only cut so much material off of the GMTS spindles before you start to impact its structural integrity, so that means if you're not interested in running 390mm [15.6"] diameter rotors or larger, then look elsewhere. Probably not the info you were hoping for.

Ok I've been thinking this over, I think it would work but I might be full of crap so bear with me here:

For the '98-'02 F-bodies the C6 Z06 rotor & Cadillac CTS-V calipers is essentially a bolt on. There are kits that adapt the stock F-body brakes from the same years to B body GM spindles. Wouldn't that make the big brakes a bolt on for the B body spindles w/kit as well? Why not convert to B body spindles? I've heard the Camaro caliper is the same as the Caddy one with the exception that the Camaros' mounting bolt holes are bigger.

anyone know any more about this?

i follow your train of thought. sounds like the 1LE swap but you'd be best to check a B-Body forum or something? Could be onto something. Sounds too easy

B body spindles are basically F body with the caliper holes a little further out. Dust shield bolt holes that most kits use for caliper brackets are the same though.
