Thread: Rear brake question

Are the GXP rear caliper/rotors a direct bolt on replacement on an 02 GTP? I heard those install no problem without anything special. Do rear brakes even make a difference in our cars? lol.

Any braking boost is good but if you just did gxp fronts (direct bolt on) you would be fine. Have to get longer brake lines most upgrade to stainless ones at the same time

Backs bolt on the same iirc the rotors are much bigger then the dinky gp stockers

I love my GXP brakes looks good to imo

Longer brake lines needed for GXP fronts? rears? or both? I went back to stock calipers at the moment. Had some F-body calipers but one of them seized.

They come in a kit of 5 to replace all of them.
Lots of guys do fbody fronts but you got a do extra work and I'm not into extra work lol. Keep in mind you will need the longer kit to do gxp front. Zzp has it spelled out pretty good

fuk zzp and that 500 bucks. f bodys take no extra work. you can get new f body calipers, the spacers, ss lines and new r1 rotors and pads for 1/2 that easy.

heres the how to with part numbers for the lines and spacers http://www.regalgs.org/topic/54303-f...brake-upgrade/

Wasn't saying buy the calipers from zzp just the brake lines. They think there stuff is made of gold. I bought my GXP's from a member had them powder coated and rebuilt them for 200 bucks ebayed rotors w/pads and ss lines that were second hand but never used 350 all in. One set came off another went on

Oh wait, did you pay $200 for the powdercoating/rebuild? The calipers themselves or all together? Lol
