Re: UPDATE: Need Some Eyes on this Mod on GTP I am looking to buy
Camaro rotors and caliper brackets/pins. The calipers and pads are stock. Said there issues using the twin piston Camaro rotors with the GP braking system. True? I dont know.
Why he never did the plog who knows, I ordered it yesterday and hopefully will be here this week.
For those asking about the wires they are MSD.

Checked the coolant this morning and was low. He said the LIM done, but we'll see...if I have to change it no biggie now that I've already done two....

He's a dumbass. The fbody brake upgrade is the most done mod to gp. No issues. The horror stories of them splitting apart. Are just that. Horror stories.

He didn't tell me his forum username so was hoping somebody might recognize this car from Waterbury CT.

And I am OK with that, as long as i know what i got. ..the trans was rebuilt 15k ago and have receipts on that, the car is super clean in and out and i only paid 3500.

by issues i don't think he means problems , i'd say he means theres more to it then just changing calipers and rotors. you have to change the brackets, banjo bolts , and i believe you need to upgrade the brake lines to stainless steel lines.
he didn't do the f body upgrade. all he did was change the brackets to allow him to run bigger rotors. i know you could use early 2000's monte carlo and impala rotors with just changing the brackets and they used the same calipers as the GP. i guess some camero's used the same rotors and brackets as the montes and impalas.
Re: UPDATE: Need Some Eyes on this Mod on GTP I am looking to buy
if thats what he did i would go finish the mod to get the best out of it. i bet the pads dont use the whole rotor or run off the edge or some thing.
lets hope he didnt half ass every thing he did to the car.
pics of the brakes when you get a chance please.
Re: UPDATE: Need Some Eyes on this Mod on GTP I am looking to buy
Well he changed brackets anyway to fit larger rotors. And you don't need stainless lines. Just bend the bracket. I'm with scotty here. Its sounding like he has half assed the car. Doing some but not all. More pics are needed.
Re: UPDATE: Need Some Eyes on this Mod on GTP I am looking to buy
yes we need more detailed pictures. of everything...lol
Re: UPDATE: Need Some Eyes on this Mod on GTP I am looking to buy
Will do, I'm out of town for a conference this week, will snap some pics when I get home.
