GTO calipers
Ok I searched and I found 1 thread that mentioned GTO calipers to be possibily used on our cars...but it wasnt confirmed....so do anybody know for sure if we can use GTO calipers on ours cars? If so does the GTO year make a difference?

GTOs were Australian made by Holden, so the brakes setup including the brackets will not fit without special custom brackets. Corvette, impalas and camero work with our becasue they are all made by PBR.

The back of my PBR Vette calipers says made in Australia. Food for thought.

just looked at your ride on cardomain (link in your sig...not a stalker I swear) and while the brakes on the front look really good, they make the stock ones look goofy in comparison. if it were me, I'd get the 12" rotors in the back to match...

But were the caliper for the GTO made by PBR?
Edit: I did came across that thread in GAGT a few months back and no one comfirm this. So I am led to believe that this is the case.

In case you didn't know, PBR is an Australian company and GTO calipers actually say PBR right on them.

They go right on. You still need the F-Body brackets though. The print on the (red) GTO calipers is just a decal as well, so it will peel off.

I have 18" for summer but I checked my stock 16" for winter use and they fit. I know the rears look funny but I only did this mod cause one of my front calipers seized up and I needed half of the new parts anyways. I am most definitely not going to spend $400+ on rear brakes that wont help much.
