Double damn!

Wow, now that the way the front wheel should look, filled with brakes..

 

that looks great , so much better than 13inch brakes . very supercar looking . nice .

 

Thats what i'm talkin about! Stops so good, need new tires! LOL! Just kiddn, I love'em.

 

Dude that looks freakin awesome Now the real question is, do you still have stock drums out back?

 

few more

 

no my car never had drums out back. i dropped in a 4th gen diff before i did the ls1 swap. they look so little now lol

 

nope on the 3rd pic you can see the rotor and caliper




LOOOOOKIIIINNNN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

 

Nice.

 

thanks.. people trip out. "hey u have a v on your caliper. is that from a ctsv?"

 

Camaro looks good! I think those ctsv calipers are the same as the 2010 camaro brembos.

I remember doing a 14" brake swap on my bird. Really made the rears look tiny!

 

I enjoy the way things change. When I swapped to 1LE's, which at that time were THE upgrade, I thought that nothing would get much better than that.

How touchy are these big brake kits when stopping normally?

 

wow, those look great! Puts the 4th gen/c5 kits to shame for sure.

Just curious, you plan on doing anything to the rears? I'm running the LS1's on all fours, and I REALLY like that front kit... I dont even know whats out there for the back.

 

Ditto, I still run C4 HDs on my RS and my shop is FULL of stuff... my C4s are GREAT brakes though.

What size rims are those?

 

18"

I wonder how close they'll come to my 17's.....

 

i love the way the car stops. i have the stock proportion-valve as well. but i really need new tires lol

my rear brake set up consist of a 4th gen set up
i was wondering if anyone sells a larger brake kit for the rear.
id be nice to have something bigger out back



btw ebmiller i sent you a pm. need some advice

 

I have the Wilwood 4 piston setup on the rear of my car and I love it. The parking brake setup is really clean too. These setups use a 12.2" rotor.

 

Are those Ls1 brackets for the CTSV brake swap???

 

i believe my brackets are only for the 14 inch rotor set up .
i believe the ls1 set up is smaller

 

From what I've seen on ls1tech, the ctsv calipers will bolt directly to an LS1 spindle and used c6 z06 rotors. Which looks like what you have. It stands to reason that a thirdgen with LS1 style adapter brackets could bolt a ctsv caliper/z06 rotor on. I think that's what he's asking.

 

true they are direct bolt onto the 4th gen spindle. the dimensions are the same with the shims but im not sure about the placement

 

...placement of what? The caliper? Other than spoke clearance, which is amazing (at lease on my c6 z06 swap, I have at least 3" between the wheel spokes and the calipers) the caliper only really has to match the rotor, which if it does on a fourthgen I don't see why it wouldn't on a thirdgen.

 

This is what I meant. I wanted to find out what caliper bracket (to 3rd gen spindle) is used for the CTSV brake swap.

 

Got confirmation from Ed Miller that 3rd gen spindles w/ the LS1 brackets could/would bolt on the CTS-V calipers (also the 5th gen camaro caliper since similar) but would require a modded 5th gen camaro rotor. (center need to be openned up )

Now we need some pictures to confirm this.

 

so these are just 3rd gen spindles with a special hub or are they 4th gen spindle/hub assemblies?

damn i'm confused! im used to doing fox mustang 5 lug conversions ....

 

they're 3rd gen modified spindles. most common way is machining down a stock rotor to turn it into a hub, since 4th gen (and similar) rotors are slip on vs. the 3rd gen bearing and race setup.

 

Considering the breaking potential of thes massive rotors will it still be nessicary to use a proportion valve? i would imagine fronts would lock up far before the rears. less the weight transfer is that great with the new stopping power
