I have been considering doing the 15" conversion on a '16 2SS. While I know the conversion isn't considered worth it unless you are making big power, since I don't exactly know my end-goal power levels, I am considering it since I am starting from scratch. I put together a list based on the YT video by SLOW.VERT and this thread: Diy 15” conversion.

• 2016 ATS Calipers and Brackets Left - 13584520 - ~$84
• 2016 ATS Calipers and Brackets Right - 13584520 - ~$93
• Brake Pads - Z26-1659 - ~$74
• 5th Gen Camaro Rotors (12.4" Dia.) x2 - 18A2694SD - ~$138
• Banjo Bolt & Washer x2 - H9458-2 - ~$$6
• Button Head Bolt (M12x1.75 70mm) x2 - 92095A446 - ~$12
• Toe Rods - SMG-SMGCRTOECAM6 - ~$270

Total cost around $680 with that configuration, which is pushing the cost of the SMG kit at $899 (I think). However, I could probably save some money with reman/non-ACD calipers and different rotors (- ~$150). I am also unsure about the SMG toe rods, looking at BMR will add another $100.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Note: this is coming from a fresh start, no 15" or 17" wheels currently owned, so everything is still TBD.

If I had to do it all over again I would have just stayed with 17” setup out back. The 15” barrel is too tight to the calipers so you can’t road force balance the setup. My 17” setup was smooth as silk down the track…the 15” setup is much less stable at the top end IMO.
