The GXP is a 12 inch rotor. IDK if the GTP is a 10.6 inch or 12

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.

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.

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

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
