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?

kROntast1c 12-21-2010 05:22 PM

My guess is they wont fit seeing how it say minimum wheel size is 17.

jhubbz 12-21-2010 05:54 PM

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

mfuller 12-21-2010 06:17 PM

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.

$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

billytheman1188 12-22-2010 04:25 AM

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:

$250 plus your choice of rotors and you're done.

"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 ;)

No problem.
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...

robalero 12-22-2010 07:40 PM

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.

colonel6632 12-23-2010 01:18 AM

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
