Default Camaro Brembos on a c3

Hey guys,
is there any way to make Brembo brakes off a 2012 Camaro 2ss fit the c3? I’m mechanically inclined and could make a bracket if needed, I just don’t know if there are other issues I don’t know about. My car has 19” wheels front and back so clearance isn’t a problem.

Any input from members who know more aboit brakes out brakes than I do would be helpful.


thanks

I have custom fabricated caliper mounts for my big Wildwood calipers and aluminum hat type rotors. In this day modern cutting devices you can have anything fabricated

For the front I would place the caliper on the rear side of the rotor. Not only for weight placement, but also for air cooling ducts

You can use the original plate as a jig for mounting bolt holes and then you just tack up the caliper mounting nuts to get the final fit before welding the nuts in place.
