Do you think eBay USA would be ok then. I've never used amazon. Will look into it. Did you get CTS V brakes? And you say it has the same Brake Master Cylinder displacement with those 6 pistons? What's the upgrade then on the SSVR brake master? Is there any major differences?

Do I need larger rotors for the 6 piston then? I guess I can get CTSV rotors too...

You won’t get cheaper than that but only couple of hundgy more on eBay. Amazon Prime is like Costco membership, very efficient and quick worthwhile if you shop online, this deal would pay for itself and still save.
Yes I got CTS-V brembos all 4 pistons ea, was the first here about four years ago. Now done 180k km on front rotors looking to switch up to the front combo I quoted above. Coz looks really.
That includes everything, best DBA rotors 370mm per CTS-V.
Regarding piston displacement vs master cylinder there has been raised several times over the years, it is the same master cylinder used SS & ZL1.

Never ever think about buying HSV brakes again. Google that, better still speak to Matt or Greg at Race Brakes / GSL Rallysport the forum sponsor.
They really provide good advice.

Am I right in saying the CTS-V brakes are the same as the Camaro brakes?

Basically, yes. They are mounted differently on the CTS-V so you need to swap the bleed and pipe around, the plus though is that one of the rear pistons are larger than the other, forget what that’s called, but means correct application of the pad to rotor. More effective and no squealing.
Camaro rear rotors are different means no handbrake maybe same with CT-V, also different length hydraulic lines.
Best to speak with GSL for more detail. You don’t need steel braid really.
