No problem! One more thing to note... you can also use 2007 Cadillac CTSv rear calipers instead of the 2010 Camaro rear calipers. At the time I ordered, Rock Auto was out of stock on one of the V rear calipers. The Camaro rear calipers are the same, accept that they are painted black and have Chevrolet and Brembo painted on them. I wanted my calipers red with GTO logos so I went for the Camaro calipers. Rock Auto may now have the V calipers back in stock. Read up on that link to the brackets... it spells out more in detail.

Getting closer to being ready for installation... got the front calipers painted last night. Somehow I managed to find the time and energy after being up from 1:30 in the afternoon on Friday, going to my daughter's swim meet, then to work at 8:45 that night until 7:30 the next morning, coming home, napping for an hour, then back to the swim meet for day 2. Started on the calipers around 6:00 and wrapped it up by 11:30. I also got the front rotors machined and those are ready as well. The Camaro hub is 67.4 mm and the GTO is 71.4, so I had them opened up 4.1 mm. Now all I need is a Friday or Monday off for a 3 day weekend so I can finally install my Pedders coilovers, Whiteline front control arms, and this brake kit.

What paint did you use on the calipers?

Duplicolor red, high temp ceramic. I also used Duplicolor high temp primer and Duplicolor high temp ceramic clear coat. Scuffed the calipers with 220 grit sandpaper and taped off everything I didn't want paint on.

Thank you! They are not perfect by any means, but mounted up behind the wheel, they will look great.
