Nice.... Also looks like Zl1 rotor is a 2 piece unit any ideas on weight savings?

Remember the CTS-V front rotor is a pseudo 2 piece as well. They are brembo dual cast. The center hats are aluminum. The two pieces are cast together at the same time. I expect the weight difference between the V rotor and ZL1 rotor is minimal.

Got the rear brackets designed and built. Seems to work pretty well. Its not a bolt on. You have to have to modify a few things on the OEM cadillac dust shield / e-brake bracket.

Hmmm, I just modified the rear flange on the Monte to use F body rear brakes. I may have to look into these. Nice job.

Nice - are they a bolt on or did you have to use spacers? I'm also interested in your brake mod. My car already has 98-02 F-body brakes on it (which were a huge improvement) but I'm always open to better since I've been getting in to autocrossing the last couple of years.

They are bolt on. HRE custom builds to suit. I did a lot of measuring to make sure I specified them correctly. Originally Posted by GeoffP

I had a set of Wilwood FSL calipers on 13" C4 HD rotors for a few years that held up great on the road course. But they just looked to small behind the new 19" wheels. The nice thing about the Wilwoods is all the parts are inexpensive.

I had not really thought about it. I'm not sure it would be terribly marketable. My front brackets will only work on third gen Camaro/Firebird spindles. The rears will work on any 10/12 bolt flange, and easily adaptable to any other flange. However they still require some hacking to the CTS-V dust shield. Originally Posted by mario65

I am not interested in providing complete kits. I don't have that kind of free time. The brackets are the magic though, the rest is easy.

I have not seen it done. But looking at a first gen spindle, it looks like it would be pretty easy. It would be similar to the bracket in the link below. Except the top hole would have to be moved slightly and you would need recontour the areas around the caliper holes. If anyone has a schematic of the 1st gen spindle, I could design a bracket quite easily. Originally Posted by mxer898
