Hi just after some info on brake rotor dimensions. What thickness/offset/diameter rotors came on 2008 Cadillac CTS-V Brembo.
I have found a set of calipers(front and rear) very cheap for the conversion into my 1965 Falcon. I need to know the dimensions especially the thickness before i buy the calipers to make sure that I am able to get blank rotors the same dimensions drilled to ford stud pattern.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

* All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them. Replace any rotor that is worn or machined below this specification.

There wasnt a CTS-V in 2008, that was the first year of the CTS redesign, no V-Series variant.

For the above posted numbers, the 316mm JE5 disc is standard on all trims of CTS in 2008 (and beyond). The 345mm J55 disc is the disc that comes in the Y43 Performance package on regular CTS.

The <2007 CTS-V Brembo brakes I believe 355 front and 365 rear.

For the 2009 CTS-V Brembo front disc, you are looking for 380x32 mm. Rears are 373x28mm.
