In stock form the Grand Prix has 11" rotors and single piston cast iron brake calipers. This is a far cry from a performance braking system and barely meets what we would consider minimum requirements to stop the car. This is a great, affordable brake upgrade. Many users have learned that the brakes found on late model Camaros and Firebirds are nearly compatible. We take the F-Body caliper kit and modify it so it simply bolts onto your car with no modifications needed.
The F-Body setup features dual piston aluminum calipers that operate over a 12" rotor. Dual piston calipers allow much greater braking with the same fluid pressure applied. This makes for accurate, responsive braking with less effort. Using aluminum keeps these calipers 5 pounds lighter than the stock iron calipers! ZZPerformance is proud to bring you an easy to install, complete package to upgrade your W body.
Includes:
- (2) assembled PBR dual piston aluminum calipers
- (2) Caliper brackets
- (2) banjo bolts
- (4) Copper crush washers
- Optional: Standard or our cross drilled/slotted/zinc coated rotors
- Optional: Stainless front brake lines (longer version)
For W Body's that are already equipped with 12" rotors, these calipers will bolt on and drastically increase stopping power and reduce weight.
For older W body cars with 11 inch rotors, you will need to upgrade to 12 inch rotors to use these calipers.
We recommend using blue loc-tite on the caliper bracket bolts.
These will not fit with 97 crosslace wheels.
UPS shipping only.
UPDATE:
We are now using calipers from GM that have the correct 14mm mounting bolts in them. This means that your F-body kit will use the same factory bolts as your stock caliper bracket.
No more downsizing to a 12mm bolt.
No more adapter sleeve for installation.
