Before I drop the money on these rotors for my 70 Camaro, I want to make sure they work. I currently have an entire Ls1 brake setup (not currently installed yet) including rotors, calipers, and brake booster/ MC. I have a line on a set of Xlr-V rotors that are newly machined. I know the front rotors are the same as the Z51 Corvette rotors, but what size are the rears? Will these rotors work with the Ls1 calipers and MC? (Mainly concerned about the front rotors)

Btw, I plan to buy the Kore3 hub and make a caliper bracket to make this work.
Any advise will help.
Thanks
Chris

To the best of my knowledge, the Cadillac XLR-V brakes are the same size rotors as the C6 Z51 front [340mm x 32mm] and rear [330mm x 26mm]. The C6 Z51 rotors are the same thickness as their LS1 counterparts, so if you wanted to run those calipers on the XLR-V rotors, there isn't any reason you can't do so as long as you're prepared to make your own brackets to account for the differences in diameters.

Do you sell the bracket to space the caliper into the correct position?
