FD CTS-V Big Brake Kit
Been looking around and seeing several companies using the GM CTS-V BREMBO brake calipers, adapter and some other rotors from different makes/models for their 4 or 6 pot Big Brake Kit. Found a few online that said they would look into it with enough interest.
Tapped on www.streetfaction.net to see if they would. Below is the request submit.

any luck?
I don't think the CTSV calipers will work well. The Evo brembo calipers have the same spacing as the stock mazda calipers and can bolt on if you drill out the mounting holes on FD spindles. Then the Evo calipers will work with a 355 mm 370z rotor. I think the CTSV calipers have a different bolt spacing so the don't bolt directly on easily. You'd have to make an adapter for the CTSV caliper and move the caliper so the bolts can be attached and will probably require a different rotor.
You will also have to address the brake balance change going with a larger rotor and different caliper piston area. Based on some calculations, with the stock setup, the rears are braking at 72% when the front calipers lock; with the evo brembos, the rears will be braking at 50% when the front calipers lock up.
