    Why not just do 1st gen CTS-V calipers? They're a direct bolt on!
    I like work. It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours.

    Whats the difference in the calipers and are the rotors larger. Been doing some road race stuff and for sure need better clamping and heat resistance

    I'm liking that. Can't believe I didn't come up with that myself. Thanks for the link. That's the plan and I'm sure I'll be thrilled with the results.

    I have cts-v calipers. They are not exactly direct bolt on in that there is some things you need for them to bolt on properly but they do directly bolt into the current spindle just fine. You will need 18" wheels or grind the calipers to fit. These are the parts I used:

    8 m12 washers
    4 copper washers
    Custom brake line from flynbye
    Wheel spacers (since my wheel spokes went inward too far)
    Moser wheel studs
    2007 ZO6 14" rotors
    2007 CTS-V brake pads
    1998 Trans Am WS6 - Phantom
    421 CI LQ9, Tick Performance Custom Cam, TFS 255cc LS3 heads, Kooks 2" LT headers, Kooks 3" True Duals w/ high flow cats, FTP 104 lid, Speed Density Tune, 4" silicon tube, LS6 VCT, FAST 102 Intake, NW 102 TB, Oil Catch Can, SLP Bilstein Shocks w/ Vogtland Springs, CTS-V 4-piston Calipers w/C6 Z06 rotors, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, R1 concepts premium rotors, Hawk HP+ brake pads, VFN WSQ Hood, C5-R timing chain, SLP oil pump, E85 tune, Walbro 450 fuel pump, Deatschwerkz 95# injectors, Breathless performance headlights, Frost Tune, !HVAC.

    That's what I thought. I want to avoid 18" wheels. Like the 17's I have and want to keep them. How much grinding are we talking about

    Here's some pictures with stock ws6 wheels test fitted. They technically fit but way to close for my comfort. I would think just a minor grind would be good. For me it does not really rub or if it does just so slightly.

    About 3/8-1/2 inch? That's plenty! If your wheels flex so much, you have other issues! Lol

    Pretty cool. I'm excited to do this upgrade. Thank's every one for the input. Fast cars need to be able to stop

    I think a quarter inch at most would be plenty. I would be worried about the calipers stability and strength if grinded more than that.
