CTS-V Brembo Brakes?

My buddy was telling me how he's getting CTS-V brembo brakes for his 240 because they're cheap and they're great brakes, which got me wondering if they would work for a FD! Any thoughts/opinions on this?

I had a 2005 CTS-V which has Brembo brakes. I was stunned at how inexpensive pads and rotors were. No idea if they would fit on an FD.

Should work.

You can get 14" brake rotor (same size as CTS-V) and hat (and hub ring if Wilwood) from another kit and then machine custom caliper mounting blocks and fabricate brake lines for the CTS-V caliper.

If you are doing the rear you are going to have to do a bit more to adapt the e-brake.

The CTS-V has a 6 bolt wheel pattern which might make using the rotors difficult.
