Are 97-03 brakes the same as 04+

[pontiacGTP123]

I got a friend with a 99 gtp and he just put new rotors and pads on the front and back of the car. He wrecked a week later and the car will be totaled out. I was wondering if the front or back is the same as my 05 gtp. Cause I would like to swap them before the insurance takes his car.

the fronts are the same, the backs are not. " but " you can still use them. iirc you'll need his whole rear knuckle and maybe his brake cables for the e brake.

No the brakes are not the same in the front nor rear

Neither will work. They are both different

im sure if he took the rotor caliper and pads it would all fit fine.

i know Billbosst has the 04+ rear calipers and such on his regal. that came with the 97-03 gp rear set up.

[HighOctaneRacing]

yea he converted the rears but the fronts won't fit

[dsmuts]

He'd have to swap everything. Not really worth it. Fronts on 97-03 are smaller and a down grade

lol i thought it was the other way around. f it then. 99 going on a 05 not worth it......whoops. reading is so over rated aint it?

Just forget his brakes. If you want brakes, make an effort for the F-Body upgrade

Ahh brakes are overrated, I mean you're only going to get it going again once you stop...just keep going

[Scottydoggs]

buy these babys. they are the right price too. all you need are rotors pads and longer brake lines or ss lines.
