    Do you know what the difference between the gxp and f body calipers? What do you have to do to the gxp calipers to fit on a 2000 gtp? Can you put 12.7" gxp rotors with a f body caliper?

    No Fbody needs the Fbody 12" rotors. GXP need 12.7 rotors. Now I have no clue what the difference is as far as the caliper/piston/stopping power etc will be between the two. But Keep in mind.. The price of rotors for the GXP are quite a bit more, same goes for pads. Fbody ftw ftw ftw

    I read on another thread that you can also use corvette calipers. C5 iirc. You just have to tap or sleeve them. However what rotors would I use? And would it for under stock 16 rims?

    The only part I didn't understand is can I use corvette rotors or do I have to use fbody rotors. And 2nd do I have to use corvette brackets or fbody or should I ask there?

    Does anyone know if it's worth the extra money for gxp front brakes? Are they a noticeable amount better then the F body brakes?
