need to change the hubs for the bolt pattern. also need the corvette caliper and contact a vendor to see if its possible to make you a bracket so you can use said vette caliper. or make one to use the factory lsj caliper


personally i would have just went with the time attack cobalt setup..

i'd rather just get the prs setup and be able to still run an 18" pretty sure with the c6x kit you have to run a minimum of like a 19x9.5 haha

It's easy to find these calipers since most corvette owners ditched them for a good brake set up. go brembo or time attack set up.

I know that the grand am guys do covette and f body calipers all the time. All you need is the bracket, caliper, pads and then an impala rotor i believe? So i dont see why it isnt possible on a balt. The only thing would be finding the right rotor.
