This page is designed for those interested in creating a brake setup or upgrading their brake setup with mixing and matching parts and for a general overview of each brakes setup specifications. If you do not want to deal with patching together a custom setup for your thirdgen F-body then just go with one of the proven Corvette C4, Corvette C5, Corvette C6, F-Body LS1, or 1LE setups listed in the table below and skip to the next page.

I have created tables of the most common brake upgrades and their basic specifications so some comparison can be made of the available options. A lot more goes into picking a brake upgrade setup then just going off the specifications below, so only use this table as reference. This information should be very useful for people looking to upgrade the brakes on many GM cars.
If you have access to any of the parts that have blank fields in the tables below or something is incorrect email or post a comment and I will update this page accordingly.

a) On calipers with multiple steeped piston sizes it is important to position the caliper so the smallest piston is the first piston when the rotor is rotating clockwise (car moving forward). You may have to swap the cross over tube and bleed screw depending which side of the rotor the caliper is on, 1-6 o'clock or 6-12 o'clock.

(1) The 5'th gen Camaro Brembo and second CTS-V generation rear caliper castings have a clearance machined around the mounting holes to clear a lip on the router. The first generation CTS-V brembo calipers do not have this clearance machined into the casting. Thanks LS1Tech User GXP25 for the tip and rotor pic.
Misc:
a) The rear calipers on the Dodge SRT8 06-09 Challenger, Charger, Magnum, and Grand Cherokee appear to be the same castings as the 04-07 CTS-V and 10+ Camaro rear brembo calipers.
Rotor Specifications
A good set of measuring calipers is key when taking these measurements. I really like the Mitutoyo AOS series.

(1) 82-83 F-body master cylinders have a different thread and fitting then the later years F-bodies. It gets very confusing which master cylinder is used on which car from 84-92 F-body, the parts list from each manufacture list different years and different applications. From my research it appears the 18030556 part was only used on the 84-88 cars with rear disc brake and 18030555 was used on 84-88 cars with rear drum brakes. It also looks like from 89-92 GM used the smaller drum brake master cylinder 18030555 on all f-bodies.

Good info, but I don’t see any diameter data that includes the caliper, or caliper metrics so I can’t determine which rotor caliper combinations will fit my factory ’88 IROCZ rims.
I have some old pictures with rough measurements I will have to dig through and post the outside diameters of C4 and LS1 setups. Here is some good information: http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/brake-board/278821-brake-upgrades-wheel-fitment.html
I’m trying to switch over my 86 square body to rear disc brakes. I’m gonna try to use 82-92 Chevy Camaro rear calipers and caliper brackets. Do you know what 6 lug brake caliper that I need to use? I’ve read a lot of posts , but it really seems like you no what I would need to use. Could you please help me with this conversation? Thanks
looking to up grade my current 2011 Camaro V6 front calipers, Will a Cadillac CTS caliper w/ braket fit on my current front spindle? 2009 Cadillac J56, I have no idea on what the new Camaro is using for a suspension number.
My brackets will not work on any cars other then thirdgen camaros. If the 2011 V6 camaros use the same spindles that are used on the brembo brake setups (which I assume they do) then it is a direct bolt-on. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71401
Hey guys, anyone know what the distance is between the two bolts that mount the caliper to the spindle on the CTS-V calipers? Bolts spacing or bolt hole center whatever the proper term is.
Sorry for the very late reply, did not see this earlier. The distance between mounting holes on the CTS-V and LS1 calipers are 128mm or 5.04″ center to center.
Got some additional data if you want to add it…
Stock F-body Front Rotor: 10-1/2″ diameter
Hat Diameter: 5-5/8″ (5.625)
Hat Thickness:7/16″ (.4375)
Offset: 1-1/2″ (1.5)
Hat/Flange Thickness: approx 2-13/16″ (2.82)
Great info! When I get them in, I can fill in that same info on the LS1 rear and the C5 front
Hi, I’m wondering if you can help me out on a project. I have a 2005 Cadillac STS with a JE5 performance package, can you help me out?
Is it possible to use a c5 or c6 caliper on the 98-02 Camaro rear disc set up? I have a set of C5 spindles that allows me to use the c6 brakes in the front on my Chevelle and I would love to use the matching Z06 red corvette calipers. thanks
It probably can be done with a custom bracket but I do not have the parts or rear axle on hand to create one. Sorry I do not know much about the rear brake setups of the 4’th gens or C5-C6’s.
Scott how easy was the spindle swap I have a 72 Monte Carlo I am trying to do either a cts-v 4 piston or c6 z96 swap and was thinking the same thing he camaro uses the 10 bolt would the caliper bolt up to that you can get the 4th gen setup at a salvage yard for cheap rather than buying one of the kore3 setups for 1000$
Hello Luike,
I must say you’ve been a big help.
I’m now running C6Z06 front and rear brakes on my third gen.
Stuffed a LS6 and Ford 9 inch floater while I was at it.
Question is, I have a switch that I use for reverse lock out on my six speed, is there a simple wireless remote switch I can use to mount on my steering wheel spoke?
I tried the coiled cable deals that they use on race cars, what a pain. Would love something simple, but I can’t find it. Thanks Dennis
I installed t56 in my s-10 and hooked my reverse lockout switch to my stop lamp switch.
Was wondering if u knew if they mmake brackets for the 2010 ss rear brakes to bolt on a 10 or 12 bolt rear in….with the parking brake….thanks
Great info for these swaps. Just one question with all the LS1 and c5 and c6 sections. Each one is the same but with different rotor sizes? So all of those could use any size between the 11.92-13.38in rotors? Would you just use a different bracket per application? Because wouldn’t a larger rotor hit the inner caliper unless it was spaced farther from the hub via bracket? Also on the rear brakes when swapping/ converting will those fit 10 bolt and 12 bolt rear ends? Thanks again for all the information.
1970 Chevelle LS 2 T56 build. I would like to install CTSV Brembo brakes on all four corners. Is this possible or should I stick with a more common brake upgrade like C5 or C6? IF the CTSV brake upgrade is an option, what is needed to install?
I’m trying to do the same thing with a 72 Monte Carlo form my research the c6-z06 caliper and the cts-v have the same bolt pattern so the kore3 front short spindle bracket and z06 rotor but the rear I know people make stuff for the 10 bolt rear but it cost about a 1000$ to retain a e brake I want to see if possible to get a 4th gen ls1 camaro drum in hat setup because the corvette one mounts on a triangle bolt pattern with 3 holes
So, i”ve been thinking swap 05 cts V brake rotor onto 05 cts. Do you think will fit?
Can I simply just say what a comfort to uncover someone who actually undersands what they are talking about on the net.
You definitely know how to bring a pdoblem to likght andd make it important.
More annd moore people ought to read this and undrstand this side of your story.
I was surtprised you’re nott more popular because you most certainly have the gift.
Awesome website with some great info. I race an f-body with the 2004 CTS-V Brembos up front.
I think you missed one thing though, where are the rear caliper specs for the C6 z51 cars? They run a smaller piston to compensate for the larger rotor.
Also everything I can find says c5 and c6 front calipers are the same piston size. The difference is the stiffening ribs.
Thanks again for the awesome info.

I bought a set of your brackets from a friend years back. These brackets are for the 3rd gen to convert to 4th gen Camaro. My question is? Did you ever make a bracket to upgrade to a 93-97 Camaro rotor? and is there a difference between 93-97 and 98-02 brakes? I’m finally getting to this part of my build which is going over 5 years now. I bought all the parts for the 2002 upgrade but your brackets don’t seem to work with this set up. If I need a different bracket for the 02 set up. where can I buy them?
Hey Luke
I would like to install 2016 Brembo brakes on all corners of my 1970 Chevelle. Is this big brake upgrade possible for an a body vehicle? Can you explain what I need to buy to accomplish this task? Do you have suggestions in terms of venders I should contact for the necessary parts? I already have 2016 Camaro Brembo calipers and rotors.
Can you tell me on a 1999 corvette rear brake rotor what the diameter of the emergency brake drum is
Hi Luke
I’m looking at upgrading the brakes on a 91 TA. Looking at the heights for the rotors, I’m just wondering why the C6 Z06 rotor needs the extra height of the 1LE hub? It has similar height to the C6 JL9 rotor which does not need the 1LE. My wheels will fit well with the standard rotor as hub but might touch the fender if I push them out with the 1LE rotor hub.
Thanks!
Luke, love the depth and breath of info provided here — it is really helpful and astonishing. I have a unique situation on a brake swap that involves BREMBO calipers on a 1st Gen Camaro. Do you know if BREMBO shares the same mount spacing uniformly between the GM factory stuff (CTSV, CAMARO, etc) and the NASCAR BREMBO calipers say from early 2000’s (Aluminum calipers that pre-dated the monobloc design from BREMBO). Trying to mock up some things for bracketry and will take all the info you may have in this area if any experience with those NASCAR calipers.
Thanks!

Luke,
I was wondering if you had the design drawings for the 1LE spindle brackets. I can’t find the brackets anywhere and would like to manufacture them. Also, I was wondering, if you could tell me, will the C4 calipers mount to the 1LE bracket or would they require the C4 bracket?
Thanks,
Richard
I found two errors in the caliper data.
LS1 F-body caliper is 1.8″ piston, not a 1.75″ piston. dual piston. Area is 5.1, not 4.8 as listed.
C5 caliper is not a 45mm piston – it has a 40.5mm piston (dual) same as a C6
Using a 2010 Camaro SS as a donor. Will the 14″ Brembo rotors & calipers work with C6 spindles?
Hello, Just a note for those that want to use the B Body master cylinder. The brake line outlets on the master are on the opposite side and you will need to fabricate up some new lines from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve. The ends at the master will also need some very tight bends as the strut mount is very close to the outlets .
I used the B body master cylinder only because I have 14″ rotors with Ctsv calipers up front and Strange 4 piston calipers and rotors in the back. Pedal travel is so much better and brake feel is excellent.
Thank you for all this info and the time and effort you put into it.
Now, a lot of questions:
On the “standard hub”, what are the hub diameter and hub center flange diameters?
Do you need to worry about matching the rotor inner hat diameter and center hole diameter to the hub?
Would selecting a rotor with a taller height (larger offset) move the caliper back a little (with the correct bracket), for more rim clearance?
I am taking all this knowledge you are bestowing on us to try to use the LS1 set up on the front of my 57 Chevy.

Hi Coll,Yes, we pul off use Twiter. in imitation of
we update a other blog, will update you.
I am looking for a bracket to mount Gen 5 brakes on to a C6 Corvette I want to use the 6-piston ZL1 calipers and rotors
Awesome site! Saving this page for sure. However, there’s a mistake I noticed, GEN5 Camaro/GEN2 CTSV 370mm (14.5″) front rotors have a min thickness of 32mm not a nominal thickness of 32mm. This is significant because GEN1 CTSV calipers would fit if they were the same thickness as the common Camaro SS/ corvette 14″ rotor, your specs show that they’re the same thickness, they’re not, my new ones measure out at 1.370/34.8mm.
