13" brake upgrade
I was looking around and I found this
http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...ade/index.html I know it for an F-body but could it also work on an Alero? |
you would need 17 or 18s to clear the caliper
|
but would it work?
|
omg......and for $513.00!?! thats uber cheap!! ya im curious if this would work to
|
There was a Corvette brake upgrade over on GAGT a few years ago.
Corvette Calipers: chioce of power coated red, or reg silver Camaro pad holder: bolts right up to the stock N body location Impala (00-05) x drilled and slotted rotors: same bolt pattern The really nice thing about that set-up is that the Grand Prix 5 star wheel is 16" and will clear this set up :scpimp: |
Here's the set up and pics:

Impala rotors aren't 13". he was asking 13" rotors. We all know the calipers will work, but will the caliper bracket on the Camaro will work w/ 13" rotors is the question hes asking.

exactly, and I have 18" wheels so clearance shouldn't be a problem |

I guess no one tried 13" yet, but we know 12" rotors fits. So i guess to find out.. gotta spend some money and try. If not, u can find some vette guys to buy the rotors, if it don't work. |
hmm, well I guess the question is do f-body brakes work on aleros?
If so, this should work |

yes ken already answered w/the post above, camaro/firebird caliper brackets, w/ vette or camaro calipers, just need impala rotors for the 5x115 bolt battern, cuz vetts, camaros have 5x114.3mm bolt pattern. still need to mix and match parts. |
Ok, seeing as I was the first one to do this swap....
If you want to fit the 325mm rotor (12.8") you use ALL the same parts except you source C5 rotors instead of the 12" rotors. You need to use this bracket as well to space the caliper out correctly.. http://www.lgmotorsports.com/catalog...oducts_id=1556 Here's a detailed installation on a F-Body. http://www.c-computers.com/C5-install/ On a side note, I'm going to see about a 14" brake upgrade using a C6 Z06 rotor and a CTS-V Brembo caliper. As well as using the 13" with the C5 bracket and pads instead of the F-Body ones. |

'vettes and camaros have a 5x120.67 bolt pattern actually. But the lug holes in the rotors are large enough so that they fit 5x115 also. |
^ i would be interested in that, let me know how that goes

As long as they're designed to use the original caliper mounting on a 98-02 F-Body, yes. They're identical. |

I have an extra set of spindles with bearings lying around that i can try all this stuff on, so that makes it easy. |

my bad! you are correct! w/ their bolt pattern. Let us know if the 14" rotors works, w/ the CTS-V brembo calipers. I'll do that and sell my SSBC 13" big brake kit. LOL 13" brake kit still are small inside my 20's. hehehehee my friend just bought some porsche calipers, they're factory made by brembo. He got them w/ out the porsche logo or any logo, so it was alot cheaper. but the back of the caliper has brembo logo and small engraving. mmmmmmm 6 pistons calipers. |
I should find out about the Z06/V upgrade probably in march when i help a friend upgrade his '06 CTS Sport.
