05-06 GTO & C5 Front Brakes

Has anyone done a swap? I am looking for some info into it. I know the caliper bracket is a different based on bolt holes which you can see when you look at them.

Would it be possible to modify it? If not, I will make one.

My question is if I made the adapter plate for them to work, would the C5 rotor work or would I need a different one?

I have seen many people often contradict themselves in posts and I would like to get a verification. Before I purchase a bunch of things and then find out it does not even come close to fitting.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: 05-06 GTO Front Brakes

I have been able to figure out some information. It has been pretty hard to find, but it is not to bad to understand. Essentially the caliper is the same as the C5's and the caliper bracket is the only difference. So once the caliper bracket is swapped they will work as any old C5 caliper with the 13" C5 rotor and the spacer bracket made by Ed at Flynbye.
