^^ way too many issues coming to light in the last year to even consider dealing with MP Racing... not to mention I have 20's so that is the main reason I want bigger brakes, not something that fits under the stock 16's... I was going to do GXP's all the way around, but with the front rotor, I would need at least 19's and I have been considering what happens if I switch out to 18's... I will have a set of Impala Police Brakes for the front within the next 3 weeks (thanks to Trevor!!) and now Matt and I are working out a deal for his GXP rear's...

The kit uses camaro calibers and 12inch rotors the same as doing the corvette swap or any other available swap out there.Not sure anybody elses problems but i just bought these maybe 3 months ago and had no problems even striped the banjo bolt hole and contacted them to find out what caliber it was and they got right back to me.

you're lucky, I can't get in contact with him and he literally stole me 140$ when it was my third purchase with him (had already bought worth 800$ to him before)... BTW sorry for crapping your thread... Back on topic

I refuse to run bigger brakes because I want to fit 15" slicks.....

The big brake upgrade was DEF one of the best/most noticeable mods i've done to my car (besides the headers). You will LOVE IT....especially if your doing the rears too....oh man.... right now i have the camaro brakes up front and stock in the rear and its a nice set up. But since i'm doing the 3500 swap its time to upgrade the rears too

Good luck! Also, you should def look into getting some stainless brake lines. BUT HERE'S A WARNING.....the nut holding the brake line to the metal line tends to seize up and not wanna come off. Which means you will have to cut the line and re-taper it? (did i use the correct term?). I had my buddy there to help so it wasn't a big issue but if you don't have the tools to do it....just stick with the stock lines for now.

Flare the line is what I think you were going for there

YES...lol. Thank you.

lol... my lines will stay stock for now until they rust out, which is bound to happen... my neighbour works for a gm dealer and he "gets" product from there all the time... he re-did my van with a new copper line they are using that wont rust... might get him to use that, or i may go with the stainless upgrade... and eventually the camaro calipers...
