Slight upgrade

**ajoliver2010** · 08-29-2012

Hello everyone. Ive been thoroughly reading the big bad brake forum and i have a question about the slight upgrade. Will it be ok to just get the 04 gp calipers & rotors for the front of the car and keep the 97 gp calipers & rotors in the back for the moment? Money is tight and im in desperate need of a pad change (had the car for 2 years and never touched them smdh ). Will it make a major effect on how the car stops? I have a 97 gp se btw....i need to get this done. Help is much appreciated....thanks!!

im pretty sure you would need the brackets for the bigger brakes id imagine dont quote me on that

New rotors and quality pads is all you need to make it stop better and its cheaper than having to buy calipers and brackets aswell.

the easiest/cheapest method is 04 monte carlo brake calipers brackets/rotors/pads (pads are same as yours now) and your stock calipers.

Won't make much of a difference, pad choice will make a bigger difference.

Just less likely to cook the rotor.

But I haven't found many on here cook the rotors, just claim to, but no heat cracking.
