Re: CTS-V brakes?

Interesting.

If they bolt up the same as the C5 brakes and the offset would work out then you would still need to find a rotor that would work and be the correct diameter.

I should have said in my last post, "The CTS-V rotors are 14", so I doubt they'll work with C5 adaptor brackets as the calipers likely won't be offset enough".

I don't know this for a fact, if they would work then that would be cool.

Re: CTS-V brakes?

Just read your quote over again.

The C5 rotors are like 12.8 inches in diameter. The CTS-V rotors I believe are 14".

I'd like to see how the guys who are running them with C5 adaptor brackets and rotors are doing it.
