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!

Re: front brakes upgrade for 4th gen wheels
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?
