Hey everyone. Something I've really wanted to do lately was bigger brakes. CTSV brakes seem to be the best bang for your buck option at the moment.
Mazworkx makes the s13/14 > CTS-V conversion brackets for the CTS-V V1 Caliper. On their site they state that the kit uses Evo VIII rotors to complete the kit.

Personally however, I'd rather use the larger, V2 calipers. You can see the difference here:

Of course the V1 is actually mounted whereas the V2 is just sitting there. The V2 is a 6-piston setup, and in my opinion, looks MUCH better.
I did a little research and found out that for CTS-V guys this was a direct swap apart from the rotor. So mounting holes must be the same. I emailed Mazworx and explained what I was trying to do. They told me that they would mount just fine, however they do not know what rotors to use.
Has anyone ever done this? And if so, what rotor / conversion lines should be used? I'd rather know it all before I pull the trigger on everything.
Thanks.
