Great video! Glad I could help with the process.

Thanks for the video. You helped me out with this information.

Great video! I have 6th gen ZL1 6 piston i want to put on my G8.

If you look at 6 piston front and 4 piston rear billet alloy race brake setup for another option. I used Vari racing brakes. 375mm front and 355mm rear. If you go the 365mm you can fit standard 18" wheels over 6 piston setup. They are a direct bolt on and cost 4k us for a full set up from Australia. I run them on my caprice.

Awesome , never knew about that option! good to know theres other potentialy easier ways to get some big brakes

Attempting to do the same on my G8 GT but bolts from the original caliper bracket are just spinning inside the new zl1 caliper and not tightening

So your hat part number only pulls up complete discs. Do you have another number?

Can you clear an 18” wheel with the 1LE Brakes?? Curious to know

I wasn’t able to clear the 18’s I had to get 20’s

will those modifications be necessary on a 14+ caprice also?

Hey, yeah I’m gonna hold on to them for a little bit though. I can let you know if I decide to let them go

Hello. Thanks for the video. I just picked up some 2023 Camaro SS 4 piston brembos. Do you think they will fit a 09 G8 GT? All the forums I see are saying no only Gen. 5 brakes but the site conversations are a bit dated, Thanks in advance.

Hi, they will work if you look in the video you can see my trial and error. I had to change rotor hats and find some 10mm spacers for my wheels to fit

@@repairandsharegaragethanks for the reply. I picked up some 2021 CTSV brakes and I will change to those instead but my question is will I need to swap the hats and add the space in rear like you did in the front? The rear brakes are 4 piston so not sure if that makes any difference at all. Thanks in advance again.

Good question? It doesn’t take to much to mock up one side to check. Just swing the old caliper to the side with the line still connected. I wonder if you could swap the hubs out instead of buying the different hats if you couldn’t find any?

I’m wondering?…. I have the 18” grand sport corvette wheels. You said they didn’t clear your 18” wheels. Was it purely a diameter clearance issue? Was it close to where you could probably get away with a slight grinding on the caliper’s edge to make fit or was it way off and no way could make work with modifications? Also do u know the inside diameter of your Camaro wheels? Might be slight difference between the inner diameter of the grand sport wheels vs your Camaro wheels. Great video. Love the attention and communication of the details you found.

Mine was diameter issue with the 18’s , I don’t think I could have ground the calipers enough to force it.

Awesome thanks for the reply. I picked up a complete front and rear set of C7 ZO6 brakes and going to somehow make them Work on my 2001 GMC Jimmy (Blazer).

On my opinion, is more easy to switch at 1le spindle or the cost of the hats is similar?

@repairandsharegarage

I hadn’t thought about that, guess depends how much those spindles are. I found the hats relatively cheap about $100 for both hats

What about the brake booster. Your brake balance is going to be wayy off now
