Exactly why I never even contemplated it until now. One thing I like to KNOW is working, are brakes. I don't need to have unforeseen issues with them.

So is this a smaller diameter rotor? The bracket was to compensate for the larger diameter rotor was it not?
Also guessing this will fit the e-brake because the inner hub is the correct diameter now as well?

This rotor is 5mm smaller in diameter, 1/10 inch smaller radius.. The adapter bracket's biggest dimensional change was to space the caliper further outboard almost 1/2 inch. The SS rotor will be slightly smaller in diameter and have the rotor faces properly located to not need the adapter's 1/2 inch step out.

Not to mention more clearance for wheels.
The bracket made the Caliper stick out further then the front.
I got the hsv rotor for that reason and the rotor will last the life of my car. And who cares you have to shave the pad a bit.

Just waiting for GM to release them. I'm guessing it might be a little longer since they are not even building the 2015 SS yet.

So will this rotor work with the current rear Brembo & bracket setup? I would like to go this route instead of the custom brake shoes

With these new rotors, you remove the rear bracket. It will no longer be needed
