front brakes upgrade for 4th gen wheels
I got a set of 4th gen SLP Firehawk wheels (17x9) and for now I'm going to run 2" wheel adapters, but I'm wondering if there is a front brake upgrade that is a direct bolt-on kit and will eliminate the need for the wheel adapters. I know that the 4th gen rear end will let me run the SLP wheels without spacers, so that is another option I'm looking at for the future.
Thanks in advance!

I dont think so. I have the LS1 front brakes, and it moves the brakes out maybe a 1/4" at the most. All the other kits all the way up to the CTS-V brakes are going to be the same way.

Damn...well I see you have the same size wheels I do (17x9) but WS6 instead of SLP. What size adapters are you running on the front? If I'm not mistaken, you also have a 4th gen rear end as well, correct?
