MPracing brake kit
http://www.mpracing.org/store/index....&productId=445
anybody have this kit or heard anything about it? Will these clear my 16in stock rims? |
My guess is they wont fit seeing how it say minimum wheel size is 17.
|
My guess is they will fit if you still have the "Nicest 18's on Aleromod"
Altho, seeing as you have ur stockers on for winter, you might be SOL |
Nope, you need to have 17" wheels or larger -the calipers are too big to fit under stock 16s.
He has another kit with 12" rotors and Camaro calipers that will fit under stock 16" alloys. |

LOL....wow....totally overlooked that.... i have 17s now though;) |
just do a camaro swap up front, i can fit 16s with them
|
|
$750 for just the front. I paid just under $500 for all 4 corners.
Camaro Calipers with Impala rotors in the front and entire Grand Prix GXP set-up in the rear |
i need those brackets though right?

No, you don't want to use those. Those are to retrofit C5 Corvette brakes to a 4th-gen F-body, and require modification to the spindle. What you want is the normal 4th-gen F-body abutment brackets (anchors). They bolt directly in place of our stock stuff. Look here: http://www.mpracing.org/store/index....&productId=370 $250 plus your choice of rotors and you're done. ![]() |

This is a nice kit i just installed them 2 months ago and everything works great |

"F" body brackets 98-02 is what you need. You can get them at Autozone, or buy the complete caliper with bracket from places like Rock Auto ;) |
Quote:
Cool. Thanks Matt! It says it might fit 16s......u think these will fit with the stock 16s??? they dont look that much bigger.... |
Quote:
Factory Alero 16" alloys (both styles) have been tested by others and are known to fit. |

what size wheels? I got 19's I was thinking of getting this kit as well, but if you know of something better, by all means share it for all... |
reg GP rotors will fit the front also, Aurora and many other full size GM vehicles that were FWD will be the same part # as those impala ones so double check on pricing while your out there because I know some companies will charge a difference even tho its the same part # the different model car they think they can get more money and they do

I thought it was a Grand Prix GTP, not GXP. I might be wrong though. |
from what i learned after calling and asking a few auto suppliers all grand prix rear brake setups are the same...
i could be wrong |

Sweeeet. im def ordering this tomorrow but first i wanna find out where i can get some stainless steel brake lines.... since this kit doesnt come with them. |
|
Quote:
The GXP is a 12 inch rotor. IDK if the GTP is a 10.6 inch or 12 ;) |

While they look right, the fronts will work but the backs are wrong in that kit.. |
Quote:
JW....how can you tell the fronts will work and backs wont? i just wanted to do the front anyways.....but im curious as to how u know the backs wont work..... i just wanna make sure i dont run into any problems when it comes time to put these on.....i wanna make sure i have all the right stuff. |
Go straight to Goodridge for proper stainless lines. GM uses odd sized connections...
|
The only well to really tell (since that picture is just a representation and not the actual part) is to make sure they are long enough (I dont' recall how long the lines are) but the caliper-side fitting is a M10x1.0 banjo bolt and the opposite fitting (which attaches to the hard line) is a M10x1.0 ISO bubble flare.
|
You guys are awesome. I'm gonna check into this and see what i can find. Thank you:coolio:

Because i have that set, and the fronts are identical between the J and N body cars. But the rears on the J-Body are different and are what is in this kit. They're like 6" long hoses with female ends on both sides. |

I just got the brakes today. It came with the calipers and rotors....but do i need brackets to mount these calipers? cause it didnt come with any...... and these calipers are SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than the stock ones:lol: Please....anybody who knows help me ASAP cause these things gotta go on ruby ASAP. Thank you
|
ya i have the same kit and it came with brackets so it should have them
|
Quote:
did you buy the cheaper kit? I got the $230 one.....i guess i had to get the more expensive kit for the brackets huh? |
this is the one i got....
http://www.mpracing.org/store/index....&productId=370 probably should have read a little better before ordering....now i see it says "base kit".....so how should i go about getting brackets? The customer service isnt too good cause i called 3 times, left voicemails and emailed once and never got anything back. I thought the order didnt go through cause it took forever to get these (over a week). So now im worried cause i need these brackets and i never got a hold of anybody all the times i contacted them. So just to get everything clear....all i need is brackets now right? nothing else? I already have stainless steel lines so those dont matter. just brackets...right? |
right on the site it lists the components...
The base kit includes: - 1 Pair of Dual Piston Calipers - 1 Pair of Caliper Brackets - All hardware for needed for installation - 1 Set of Ceramic Pads - 1 Optional Pair of OEM Style rotors I'd think they should have been included |
thats the same one i got so you should have brakets
|

LOL....wow.....i FAIL. So i did read everything right! I totally passed over that before. I emailed them about it....hopefully they get back to me soon. Brackets weren't in the box so idk. Just hope they get shipped here fast cause i need to bring my car in to get the struts/springs/and urethane bushings put in before i head back to ohio and i cant drive it to my mechanic until i have brakes! lol |
