Dude you gotta stop teasing us like this,LoL. That shade of red is cool. I think it makes the caliper pop and on the lighter colored cars it will really be kick ***. Just sign me up for a set!!!!!!

Can I ask why you can't just buy the stuff yourself and bolt them on? Or is it the Powdercoating everyone is after? I found that thread on GPF a while back and had been planningo n doing this if I end up keeping the car.

Well with this kit you can use the factory wheels and drunkies you have to use a wheels with less offset and I dont want to have to buy new wheels. I might just piece it together myself

further reading reveals that OEM GXP 18's will clear no issues. He provided the info on needing an 18" wheel with a specific offset for the other makes/model lines without the proper size rims or for those already running aftermarket wheels.
The GXP stops good enough as-is...i don't think i really NEED bigger brakes yet...

i priced out 2 CTS-V calipers on rockauto for about 300 bucks before shipping. that's relatively affordable and available...
i personally have no idea if the evo/wrx ones will work.
the 2010+ SS calipers will however with one added bonus: they also use 14mm mounting bolts. however they are way more expensive too.

I wanna see someone rig up a 6piston with 15 inch rotors from a cts v
So what are we gonna do about the rears now. The fronts dwarf the rears more than they already do with this kit. Definately put me down for a pair.

Sorry for getting you excited, I'm looking for options for my LS4 swap & thought this thread was have answers by seems to have died.. Think I'll order the CTSV calipers and if they don't work for project car, I'll put them on my GXP.
