Why vy used when u can have new for 10 bucks more a caliper
Hey guys, just thought I would post that I have a set of camaro brembos I may be willing to sell.
The fronts are used but the rears are brand new. I would also sell with it a set of pads for both the front and rear. Plus the correct rear drilled and slotted rotors required to make the rear calipers work. And I also am having a bracket Machined right now to make the rear calipers work on a 2001 grand am. I think the bracket may work for the grand prix as well if my measurements are right.
Halfway thru this I decided to go another route. So let me know if you're interested and I can provide pics.
If the brackets worked on a gp I'd probably buy them off you if you. Brackets that is. Post up some pics of emQuote:

This is the best thread ever! Thanks to everyone on here!
Quick question. I know you guys said the GXP rims clear, but will the FRONT (7" wide) GXP rims clear without a spacer? I'm assuming you lot were talking about the rear GXPs clearing.

Haha whoops I meant to say rear. My bad.
So, I have been talking with a buddy who is doing the brembos onto his and i might possibly in the future, but came across this link. Stock c6 z06 rotors for $67 each, compared to gt500 which may be quite a bit more. However, it obviously runs the same lug pattern as the f-body, just wasn't sure if the rotor would be too big or is it another possible and good option? http://www.hoonable.com/brembos-on-a...the-next-stop/
Gt500 blanks are about that price why bother having to Redrill or adapt?
I haven't looked up gt500 prices, just saw this link and figured it could also possibly work. However, you do not have to redrill because the f body rotors fit on w-bodys without needing to be redrilled and thse have the same lug pattern.Quote:

I know this is a grand prix forum but to my knowledge my car and these car share many parts so im really really interested in getting new brakes on my car! So i have a 7th gen impala (2004 w/o abs). Want to know if i should be ok installing the ctsv calipers onto my car. My car is far from stock suspension wise. I have done everything to make it handle better and I've been quite successful in my opinion. I've done everything from bigger front and rear sways, front and rear strut tower bars, poly bushings, new endlinks, inner/outer tirods, new steering rack, kyb agx struts, lowering springs, "anti-pogo" washers, bfg comp 2 245 wide tires all around. I just changed my wheels recently and am/have been lacking in the braking department for a while now. My budget is $500-$600 for the front brakes so im looking into the CTS V setup mentioned in this thread. As far as clearance on the wheels i have 19"x8.5" 5 spoke wheels in the front with +40offset in the front.
This is what I've got so far in my cart at rockauto : http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...db9843f37cc201 .
So what im missing now is:
- ZZP extended stainless steel brake lines (out of stock at this moment somebody point me elsewhere to get extended SS lines if possible?)
- CTS-V Caliper bolts ? (not sure if these come with the calipers from rockauto parts #1722287/#1722288)
- Rotors. (in OP he lists 05' mustang GT500 centric blanks #12061089 but im much more interested in centric stoptech sport part #12762076R/12762076L from the 2005 CTS-V im assuiming any CTS-V rotors will fit??)
- 4x14MM bushing (Where can i get these and where do these go??)
For pads i'll pick something out from the ctsv pads either stoptech z26 or akebono acts.
I have the money right now just waiting for a couple answers to the questions i have pointed out above. For the rears in the future maybe later this year or early next year i will get the gxp 12". I attached the latest pic i have of my car with the new wheels. At this point I've done all major upgrades that could be done to the suspension wise. I recently repainted a couple months ago, got new wheels, upgraded all lighting exterior/interior leds 6000k inside and out with hids under a projector with good cutoff to not blind oncoming traffic. I did all the suspension work with brakes being the last and I'm going for appearance right now. Next year i plan on doing all the engine work and will either turbo or swap in an L67.
With that said, I will be patiently awaiting for answers :cool::D.

the CTS-V rotors are 6x115 lug pattern, they will not work.
follow this thread, though. your car is the same as the grand prix brake wise.
Thanks for the info! So when looking for the centric rotors on rockauto.com do i look under the 2005 mustang gt500 and the 2010 camaro ss?Quote:

So are the f-body rotors and they still work ;)Quote:

But those are 12" rotors. Not 14"Quote:
