Default What rear brakes fit?

I did a search for 12" brake upgrade for all four corners and is the only brake system that works for the rears the GXP brakes?

Bear has a setup as well but pretty much yeah, the GXP is the only stock setup that will fit.

Not sure how much youd want to pay for a rear setup but Wbody store has a rear 12" brake upgrade (Im almost positive is the GXP setup) for 600 + shipping. Comes with everything accept lines. If you look through car-parts.com you should be able to find a rear setup or front and rear setup used for cheaper than the new too. (I went through car-parts and it was cheaper shipped for the whole setup used than for just the rear new)

Actually what i did was check the front GXP calipers and called most places with a front listed and asked if they had the rear setup because i found no listings for the rear only.

I called a local yard and they said the GXP and Buick Lacross share the same rear caliper. So is this true? Will the buick rear bolt up then?

Im actually not sure about that. Both parts. Someone that has a little more knowledge on this part might want to chime in. If all else fails I guess you could always call up a dealership to see what the difference between the calipers is.

That could be some very good information. Also, where do you guys find GXP parts? I cannot find any information anywhere on anything GXP pre-2004.

That is because the GXP's didnt start production till 2004 badged as a 2005 model until till current I do believe. The pickens at junk yards are going to be slim at best.
