hey Alex

im sporting the GXP brakes front and rear....yes they are 13 in the front and 12 in the back, and are way better than the F body upgrade











and they fill the wheel way better than the stockers

[swampthing]

dang i just want the calipers! those are pretty

[alexcoqui]

yes, those are hot. Can I ask how much did you pay for everything.

[swampthing]

gm parts direct has the calipers for 125 a piece you could always get aftermarket rotors from somwhere

also what calipers does the aurora have?

[2000Silverbullet]

He will need the caliper brackets also.

[swampthing]

He will need the caliper brackets also.

oh I thought they would bolt on. I guess it makes sense though because it has to make rom for the bigger rotor

[2003 SSEi]

also what calipers does the aurora have?

the calipers (and all brake parts) are the same as the bonneville

alex you have a PM

GXP Calipers questions and Clarification.

To be clear, if I order a set of 04-05 GXP calipers and they will fit a Bonneville 2000-05 using existing caliper brackets? YES/NO

Will they fit under the 17" rims? And, is this with the 12" stock rotors or the 13" larger rotors.

Will you help me with this upgrade, because I am thinking about installing them on my 2001 SSEi.

Has anyone tried the rear GXP's caliper upgrade on their car?

Thanks
MIKE

thanks-

I was on GMpartsdirect and I could not find the part number for the brackets, do any of your know what these part numbers are?

Front?

Rear?

Mike
BTW this is a really cool upgrade....

[00Beast]

I don't believe they stock the brackets.

today I bought a set of GXp calipers with the brakets. So the next question would be, what is the best rotors-pads combination.

[89bonnelmj]

I would defintly go with power slots for rotors. For pads i would go with the ebc yellow stuff or red stuff. They both are ceramic but the yellow stuff they list for track and street use but the red for street only. Powerslot dose recommend hawk pads.

today I bought a set of GDP calipers with the brakets. So the next question would be, what is the best rotors-pads combination.

HOLD THE PHONE...by GDP you mean Grand Prix??? they are not the same as the Bonneville,

i'm gonna guess and say that i think he meant GPD (gm parts direct)

[alexcoqui]

sorry, I meant GXp. I got them from morad. & by the way awesome service.

[2003 SSEi]

ya that is where i got my GXP brakes from. They are the best

[alexcoqui]

cool, where are your rotors & pads from?

[2003 SSEi]

cool, where are your rotors & pads from?

my rotors and pads are OEM GXP. I will tell you Alex everything bolts up with out a problem except for the front caliper brackets. The bolts for the brackets are different than the ones that you currently have on your car. I got my GXP stuff with all the bolts and hardware
