Thread: The Official what you need and how-to for CTS-V brakes

Hmm, any idea of price you'll be asking for them?

Theese are not for the race car but for my personal 01 GTP daily driver

you can PM me for price. Don't want to post in here

Pmd

Wow lot's of people showing interest. Let me first say that I'm still 3-5 weeks off from being able to offer these. The price will be firm and still need to PM me for it. Out of respect those that I have given a quote to please do not post it here as this is not a for sale thread and don't think it's fair to post it in here. For some that want to know, the price I quoted will not include shipping.
The price I quote is for the brackets made of billet aluminum for both sides and the factory bolts to attach them, my R&D time, material costs, machine shop labor time, full detailed instructions, and lawyer fee's, due to the fact this is your rear brakes and a safety concern so before even one set is sold, a waiver will be needed. I will not take any responsibillity. This conversion may not be legal in some states since a functioning parking brake is required to pass state inspections. I want to provide the best and highest quality product for all those interested. Finally I only can validate this bracket to work with the stock factory calipers, rotors and brake pads, any other rotor will be at your own risk.
Sorry if this comes across as being a prick, but this is for your and my safety guys any deviation from factory parts has not been tested.

This is more then understandable and i honestly wouldnt expect anything less so as to protect yourself as well as the buyer.. like you said.. good info cant wait to see them on the car!

Sexy!!!

Haha wow, that looks good, shoulda matched with the newer fronts tho n it'd be even better!

Mmmmmmmmm.. cant wait to finish this project lol

now i need to bed in the brakes but overall evaluation is much better then even my previous GXP setup. Time to recheck torque on all bolts in 2-3 days and retorque lug nuts. All in all I'm very happy with the final results

Interwebz boner. Great job on the brakes overall.

Much appreciated, this has been a difficult projuct for the rears but the outcome is well worth it. For those interested this project with all parts totaled for the 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears, all 4 rotors, pads, pin kits and custom SS braided brake lines ran me approx. $1300. Not a cheap conversion but one that cant be topped....unless I try a ZR! conversion LOL!!!

the brakes are so big it almost looks fake.

^ Yes s looks photoshopped lo!. Glad you pulled it off.

I think fake! PS for sure! We want proof... 100-0mph runs!!

I'd love to see a go pro in the wheel well. Im curious of how the suspension will handle the brakpackage

HAHAHA!!!! definately not fake LOL, still taking it easy. Tomorrow will go over every nut and bolt then its time for that 100-0mph, otherwise 2 days of just street driving it feels fantastic

ya def want to make sure everything is nice and snug.. as well as the bedding of the pads before any 100-0 runs haha

Any reason why you didn't go with slotted rotors?

It's so sexy I would "like" my own post if I could.
