Looking to get bigger brakes for 00 gt...was looking at the KVR big brake kit..its a lot of money but its the only kit that I see that uses 4 piston calipers. Anybody heard anything about how good it is?

4 piston calipers? wow.

i dont have it, but ive heard the f-body upgrade is more than enough to stop these cars.

Baer I believe is 4 piston as well.....but they want mucho denero....

I've got the F-Body brakes, and its definitely more than enough, unless you're just a fatass and keep the car rolling

Dpends which kit you go with. Mine are only 2 pistons; I couldn't imagine having another 2.

I just wanted to add my two cents to say that you'll be fine with the F-Body brakes with SS lines. I've autocrossed and roadraced with that setup and they work fine.

what all do you need and what modifactions do you need to get the F-body calpiers to fit?

F-body Rotors, calipers, brackets, and then tap the holes out that hold the caliper on and your good to go.

well I need breaks anyway so I guess there's no reason to replace when there are upgrades. can you use the large impala rotors? I already have a set of them. isn't the bolt pattern different for the F-body rotors? I thought it was 5x4.75 and the GP was 5x4.5?

W body and F body share rotors. The holes are large enough to fit both bolt patterns.

ok, so the large impala rotors will work then?

Yes. Impala/Monte rotors are the same as the F-body rotors.

will f-body brakes work with stock wheels?

Should. Several Impala owners run with F-body brakes and stock 16" wheels. The 13" rotor upgrade requires larger rims, not the F-body (which uses a 12" rotor) upgrade.

ok cool thanks man

hey if you're running 17" or larger rotors year round i have a set of GXP front calipers brackets rotors and pads. im selling. Its a 12.7" rotor with a dual piston caliper. Bolt straight up so no modification needed. all youd need to get is new lines.

17'' or larger wheels you mean? how much?

hahah yea i did mean wheels. my bad. I'm selling it for 200 plus shipping. Its in the for sale section of this forum.

if i only had 17's

Thats what everyone says lol. I wish i wasn't in an area where it snowed cuz id be running my 18's year round and have this upgrade on my car. o well
