    Can I find a 13" brake setup like what the WBS has? Im going to the junk yard and was wondering what vehicle has 13" and that fits our car.

    IDK.

    I tried looking for a diameter but all I came up with is 11.9 so I'm unsure.

    Ok so if you want dual pistons, the cts cane with them. And I think they ran the same rotor from the Seville through the cts. It's a 12"

    It's either the Grand Prix GXP's or the 2006 Cadillac DTS that has 13" calipers. If you want 12" dual piston's then you want the one's off of the 06+ monte carlo / impala SS. And of course the CTS calipers.

    The WBS uses the GXP calipers.
    The CTS/DTS calipers similar but im pretty sure the bracket is different and wont bolt on.



    Now, what I discovered a while ago is the rear CTS/STS calipers are the same as the GXP and so are the brackets by looking at pics. But I have no idea if the bolt holes on brackets are in the same location as the GXP's. When I get some extra cash I might pick some up from the junkyard and try them out.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them
