Probably not without a spacer, the rears have a 55mm offset, and the fronts are 40mm. I'll let somebody with the V brakes chime in to be sure though.Quote:

I've never heard of anybody sticking the rears on. Got a thread for it?Quote:

The c5 caliper works on a gp bracket
Yeah, dont the 96 and down cars have rear drums too?Quote:

I already swapped out all the front stuff for F-bodys (more on that here: http://rivperformance.editboard.com/...-brakes#177823 ).Quote:

do it. don't listen to these naysayers.
Yeah, but I have a set of 4 rear GXP 18s so I'll probably need to get a spacer to clear them. What kind of rear brakes are you running with the 6 pistons, just stocks? I would think the 6 pistons would completely overpower the small, single piston rears.Quote:

if 4 piston brembos fit under the wheels i would THINK the 6 pistons would, too. however, you can't quote me on that. it's a guess.
Don't the C6 Z06 rear calipers bolt directly up to the C5 rear brackets, which would subsequently mean that they would bolt directly up to GP brackets? Food for thought?Quote:

The second gen CTS-Vs have slightly different rear calipers. They will still bolt up the same as first gens, but they have notches on either side of the mounting tabs to clear the dust shield on the second gens.Quote:

The problem with the 6 piston is the rotor size...he'd have to find a larger rotor with the bolt pattern and what not.
i would think the V2 rotors would work. same theory as to why the fbody rotors work, big holes.
Look on page 16 everything needed to work for tge 6 pistons is there

VEry nice cool deal.Quote:

Are we just going to ignore this, or...?Quote:
