In this video I will show you how to upgrade your factory ls1 front brakes to the gen 1 CTS V Cadillac brake calipers and the 14 inch 5th gen Camaro Rotors. This will work on 98-02 Camaro, Firebird, Trans am. You may find some use the c6 z06 calipers. That is not the right way to do it. The pad will not contact that rotor properly.
The calipers I bought on ebay were a great deal. They come with the pads in the video. Also and very importantly they came with the pin kit. If you don't get these calipers with the pads and pin kit make sure the pads you buy come with them. They are expensive separate.
See links below for all the parts you need. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. Would love to help as always.

Great job on the finish of the Calipers. I thought that’s how you got them when you first showed them.
Can this be done on a 94 Z28?
Very informative video! 👍
Can you also put the ctsv 4 piston rear brakes on the rear for a 4th gen?
Great video, but it would be better to hear YOU more so than your background music. Not only your echoing, but your background music drowns you out.
Alex can the rear brakes also be used on an LS1 f body?
Fun watching your old videos. Seeing how much more relaxed you are now.
Great upgrade and tutorial for all parts needed. Thank you!!!
sounds pretty good
But Is that gonna work on a 1997 Camaro LT1?
Your bleeder goes at the top not the bottom. I think all you have to do is swap sides
I started watching your channel a few months ago but until today I had only seen your new videos. You have matured and mastered the craft of creating professional content in the years since this video was made, but I enjoyed seeing you at this point in your YT career.
Great job… Thanks for the info.. Never seen your car around.. Im in Crystal Lake il..
What rotors did you use cts-v are 6 lugs?
