Not sure what you'd do for rotors since the V has 6-lug hubs. Apparently the hubs will bolt on, though. You could have the only 6-lug C5...then you'd just have to find some wheels.

I'm pretty sure others have done it, or similar. Do you know the diameter of the rotors from the ctsv? Maybe new GS rotors will fit on the C5 with the caddy calipers

Oh, it's a 2nd-gen V. I just assumed first-gen for some reason.

Go to general c5 forum and there is a kid on there from 9k racing very talented, he has put ctsv brakes on his c5. I think the article is called Frankenvette but u can just look up 9k racing and it should come up.

I think the spacing is different on the V brakes too iirc. Not sure if they'll bolt directly on to the spindle. Might as just look for C6z brakes.
