    Yeah i just found that out when i was searching for the stoptech rotors.

    Sorry for all the questions but i have been searching on rockauto.com and the stoptech website and i only seem to find rotors for the mustang gt 4.7L which are 12.43" rotors. From my understanding the cts v rotors are 13.6" rotors. Can somebody please help me find the part # for stoptech drilled & slotted 13.6" rotors for my car in 5x115 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern?

    Pretty that is just a standard image they all use, not the actual product you will receive.

    Centric/StopTech product numbers are easy to figure out.

    Blank Premium rotors
    12061089

    C-tek blank (cheapo) rotors
    12161089

    Slotted Rotors
    12661089

    Slotted/Drilled Rotors
    12761089

    Drilled Rotors
    12861089

    You should review this before buying Drilled rotors:
    http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/suspe...dissolved.html

    I would either do Premium blanks or Slotted.

    From Stoptech:

    QUOTE
    Which is better, slotted or drilled rotors?

    StopTech provides rotors slotted, drilled or plain. For most performance applications slotted is the preferred choice. Slotting helps wipe away debris from between the pad and rotor as well as increasing the "bite" characteristics of the pad. A drilled rotor provides the same type of benefit, but is more susceptible to cracking under severe usage. Many customers prefer the look of a drilled rotor and for street and occasional light duty track use they will work fine. For more severe applications, we recommend slotted rotors.

    That almost sounds like an excuse to use cross drilled rotors, and for your street car which probably is never driven on the track, the drilled rotors are fine, but as Stoptech states, they will crack and are not good for severe applications.

    Thank you so much for the info and the part numbers i really appreciate it!

    I really really like the look of drilled & slotted rotors but may end up getting the slotted since they are more practical in the long run.
    At this moment this car is only going to see spirited driving no track/drag until i either turbo or swap an l67 into it though so i should be fine with the slotted and cross drilled rotors for the moment also.

    Now for my last 3 questions:

    "ZZP extended stainless steel brake lines (out of stock at this moment somebody point me elsewhere to get extended SS lines if possible?)

    CTS-V Caliper bolts ? (not sure if these come with the calipers from rockauto parts #1722287/#1722288 OR do the bolts that come with my car on the caliper brackets?)

    4x14MM bushing (Where do these go??)"

    I will go with the slotted centric/stoptech rotors. Finally found the caliper bolts gm #18041878 for anybody that needs it.

    Now I'm just missing the part# for the banjo bolt.

    I'm confused with this part of the OP:
    "-4 x 14MM bushing
    McMaster-Carr*
    Part# 6679K16 Desc: Metric Steel-Backed PTFE-Coated Brnz Bearing for 12 mm Shaft Diameter, 15 mm Length Price: $2.45/each Qty: 4 (Grand Prix's have 14mm bolts and CTS-V's use 12mm Bolts)"
    Where do the bushings go?

    they go into the caliper bolt holes because the bolts normally used to hold on the calipers are larger than what you can use on your car. you need to shore up that difference so they actually get tight.
