Anyone ever install the 4 pot CTS-V Brembos on a C5?
I know the rotors won't work because they are 6 lug on the CTS-V.
But will the calipers mount? Is it possible?









Just bored and looking at all kinds of stuff....

Those are lug mounts, and my guess (I don't know) is that the lugs won't line up with the uprights on the C5. I suspect you'd have more in getting adapters made than it'd cost you to put in an aftermarket radial mount caliper.

Gary Hoffman could make you some mounts for them. Prob is that your master cylinder might not work. I don't know what piston sizes are in those calipers.

Members gothamZ06 and NoOne explored adapting CTS-V calipers
to C5 uprights
jkonkle offered some remarks in the second thread, too.

C6400hp elected to purchase a Brembo Gran Turismo 4 piston kit
developed for the C6. He has posted several comments in the C6
sections and some in AX&RR. There may be some backward
compatibility enabling the kit to be adapted to the C5 - wheel size
might be the primary fitment issue.

Forum vendor Bowmanized announced a Brembo 6 piston kit in the
following thread. I recovered it thinking that this was C6400hp's
thread: it's not, but I've posted for interest sake.
