Thread: 06+ impala front brakes

Are these a direct bolt in? If so, what trim levels do I look for? Can they be used with 16in wheels?

yup, direct bolt on. and they fit under 16s.

you use your stock caliper, the bigger caliper brackets, and the bigger rotor.

I was told the 2000 caliper brackets from a impala work with the stock caliper. I was under the impression the newer style impala had dual piston calipers that were a bolt on also.

Better yet, has anyone ever tried this on a gp? Leaving Facebook... | Facebook

Wrong brakes MR. Know it all..
Thats the 2000 Monte brake upgrade that uses the stock calipers and bigger brackets.

He's talking about the 06+ Monte/Impala brakes.
You need the calipers, brackets, pads, rotors. Direct bolt on.

i dont know what im talking about, apparently. i thought they were all the 12" brakes...

I have this mod, they are pretty awesome for the price.
Find a set of dual piston calipers from a 06+ W-body from ebay or a wrecking yard.
Buy 06+ rotors and brake pads. Install, you slightly bend the brake line to accomodate.
If you get drilled ebay rotors, make sure you get drilled only. I had drilled + slotted and I did not like the feedback. I changed to drilled only and they are much better.

get plain rotors, they work the best. drilled are prone to micro cracks, slotted eat a dick in winter.

Thought so. Thanks guys.
