I’ve read through the posts and threads about the swap. Most are directed towards 2G, but there are several 1G owners who say they’ve completed it as well.
My question is this: when 1G owners mounted the Brembos, did you trim the mounts by the 5mm that people talk about, or did you do a different way?
I have shaved my mounts down to 17mm thickness but it still places the caliper so far out that it will require a 25mm spacer(!!!). Something is jacked up.
If you’ve completed the swap on a 1G, would you mind chiming in?
My parts are:
’07 CTS-v Calipers with the tabs milled down
Cobra rotors
Evo braided lines
3G master cylinder
BBS RK (18”, 42mm offset, 5mm spacer)
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
