What is the ideal spindle to use for 14" Brembo's as used on the 2010-2015 Camaro?

When I put the C6 ZO6 6 piston calipers on mine I ended up going with the Blazer spindles, to each their own

Personally I’m running stock moded spindles. With cut hubs and brackets from Big Brake Upgrade.
Daily drove the car 60miles a day for over a year with no issues. Currently in the process of switching to Wilwood hubs because I want to run 5x4.5 bolt pattern.
Blazer spindle is a nice option, I've ran them with the stock blazer brakes on two other Gs and loved then.
The CPP spindle also sounds like a good option just for the endless options on upgraded Corvette hubs in the market.

I'm looking to put a spindle and brake set up together for my Malibu.
Choices are modified stock spindles
Modified Blazer spindles with bolt on hubs
CPP spindles with bolt on hubs. Do these need to be modified to fit the 4 piston Brembos?

Kind of a toss up, imo.

The stock spindles limit you to the C7 rotors, which moves the caliper out further, limiting wheel clearance. But there’s no added track width vs the Blazer spindle, so spacers are an easy fix for clearance. The modified hubs make it more expensive but are cheaper to service, even with a 1LE bearing upgrade.

Blazer spindles give you the option of the higher offset rotors (Camaro, CTS) to move the caliper further inboard but the brackets from BigBrakeUpgrade are over double the price of the G body spindle brackets. I don’t know if I trust modern replacement bearing packs unless you stuff them full of moly grease, or if they’re really high end quality.


For the CPP spindle…. I’m going to buy a pair to test around the middle of February. I spoke to a CPP rep and the spindles haven’t been tested with any C7 brakes, just C5/6. The caliper bolt spacing is the same on all years so the C7 calipers should physically bolt up, but looking at it, a bracket to move the caliper down towards the tie rod may be necessary. Can’t tell from photos alone though.

Blazer spindles with C6 Z06 calipers with 14" rotors here as well. Simple process. I saw the CPP spindles well after my swap was done. I would probably do those if I had to do it again.

Check the hub diameter between the bearing assembly and the rotor opening. I had to open mine up a little to make them fit. But, the bigger holes for the M14 lug bolts negated the problem of the 5x120 lug pattern (vs. 5x120.7 4-3/4 lug pattern.)

Doh! I forgot to mention that- opening up the center bore in the rotors is only necessary on the higher offset rotors! C7 stuff goes right on the Blazer hubs.
