[QUOTE="mysteed, post: 16860687, member: 27508"] So since the last update I had not touched the car and it's been sitting collecting both dust & spare parts. Today I finally got off my butt and got the brakes done. I initially attempted to drill out the spindle holes to use the factory bolts but that seemed to take FOREVER. So I placed an order with S&S Engineering to get their caliper relocation pieces. Now I decided to use 2014 Cadillac XTS front calipers and 2014 GT500 14" front rotors & the kit that S&S sells is for using the ATS calipers with the factory rotors so I knew that a little massaging would likely be required. What I ended up doing was shaving the inner "lips" of the calipers as they came into contact with the rotor face. I also had to clearance around the caliper where it mounts to the spindle in order to get it flush. So with using the S&S kit caliper bolt relocation pieces and provided 3mm spacer between the rotor and hub it fit like a glove. Also due to clearance with the wheel I used another 3mm spacer between the wheel & the rotor. edit: Yes know the caliper is upside down, they are on there for mockup purposes and will be coming off for cleaning before final install.
