    hey you guys, Ive been searching the forums about upgrading my brakes and pretty much have the general idea. My only question is what exactly do i buy? where do i get it from? is a straight hookup? no modification necessary?
    thanks you guys. i have access to a junkyard not to far from me if that's cheaper

    gm 12" is 11.92 so whos counting?

    I have to laugh that the 04+ non GXP rotors weigh more than the 12" ones yet are smaller.
