I have my calipers at Joel Charles place being machined right now. My question is would it be possible to drill the holes 6mm inboard to eliminate trimming the pads?

StopTech makes some 13.5" rotors, P/N 127.61044 and 127.61045 or 128.61044 and 128.61045. Will these work?
Where did you get the brake pads caliper pins from?

The pads came with a new set in the box if I remember correctly.
Will a 17in x 4.5 wheel fit these brakes?

Great thread. Maybe some of you saw the post in the Terminator Parts for Sale forum earlier this week. It was deleted today as the guy came off as shady. Anyway, he was saying his kit used the C7 caliper. I think someone called him on that and asked if it was the ATS. He said it wasn't. Anyway, I started looking at this more closely as I had never known about this brake upgrade option.
FWIW, I think what I have concluded is that the ATS and Base C7 caliper are the same casting with the exact same bore, 4 x 42mm. And "I think" that the Vette Z51 package, CTS-V, Camaro SS calipers are the exact same bore as the ATS and base C7 except that the caliper mounting has been extended to accept the larger rotor for the performance packages.
Back to shady guy's kit, he was offering the whole thing with pads and rotors and made some mention of using the mustang track pack pads? The post is gone now and I cant recall the year range he noted for the pads. So how would you use the mustang pads on these Brembo calipers? Was that BS? Or was he onto something as he claimed to use the stock rotors...

That is one of the main reasons I made this Thread was he was charging $800 for the "kit" in the beginning. For about $400 in parts. Everyone one of his ads has a different story so not sure which to believe. I know the parts I listed on post 1 work as I did the install. I am not sure on the others.
Not to mention the guy is a complete tool. I asked him some questions and he instantly started off name calling and stuff of that sort. Not a professional dude at all. He claims the Camaro and vette calipers bolt directly to the hub no milling and nothing at all needed. Anyone who tells him different he blocks like myself.
Let me know if they fit. Only reason why I wouldn't do this.Depends on the back spacing and rim design. I have weld alumistars in 17x4.5 and plan to see how they fit.

That might have been me that called him out. Others may have too, so many threads on this topic going on. I think it was newer track pack pads he was saying fit, I have no idea if they actually fit or not.

Guys, no luck finding a pad that will work, maybe a 13.5" rotor would be good....
