OK So an update as to my rear Cts-v project... the calipers are going to need a bracket in order to install them..they are off by about 1/2". The mounting bolts however are the correct size so that's a plus lol...I think the caliper needs to be spaces off the spindle about 1/4 of an inch as well. I will be designing a bracket soon and will CNC a prototype as well
If you could post pictures i would appreciate it. I have never seen the rear calipers in person.what about the ebrake?
sure... they look just like the fronts really, just smaller... as for the e-brake i wont be utilizing it... even if i were to do the rear gxp conversion i wouldn't use it either... i am going to start next week designing a bracket.. my roommate is an aerospace engineer so he will draw it up in AutoCad and then another buddy just bought a 5-axis CNC :p

Just did a quick read through and some research and was wondering aren't these the same exact Brembo brakes that are used on other cars like the SRT8 and Evo as well as subaru vehicles and others of course. They look exactly the same and i highly doubt brembo would change there calipers bolt up pattern for every car they went on. Based on what little research i have done of course. lol
Yup Brembo has a pretty generic design for these, these are the same off the '10 Camaro, G8 GXP, CTS-V, STS-V, Evo and I'm sure there are many others, sometimes the do change the bracket for mounting a little but I'm sure they all could take the same brake pads LOL.Quote:

Second one is "Used" but repackaged and certified by amazon, good to me:
Amazon.com: Buying Choices: ACDelco 172-2288 Caliper Assembly
Be careful that it is the right part... may want to call Amazon to double check... because when I ordered the rear caliper... they sent me an e-brake pad. But the part number that was with the pad matched the rear caliper p/n... just a heads up for anyone ordering
Its the one buickman used. Caliper Assembly is in the title.Quote:

looks like i'm putting brembos on my 2.5i.
I'm interested to see where this CTS-V rear brake project goes.
Left - 89047726
Right - 89047727
I found these as updated GM part #'s for the same CTS-V Calipers... Can anyone confirm this. Same price +\- $130...
just getting all my ducks in order :)
Well I made some good headway the other day, got some good measurements and mocked up bracket... next few weeks are busy at work so hopefully I will have some time in betweenQuote:
