GXP Brake upgrade - parts needed?
GXP Brake upgrade - parts needed? Hey guys, since i'm installing 20" wheels soon (test fitting before winter, actually) i'm looking to upgrade the Imp's brakes to the GXP setup and was wondering if any of you know where to find this stuff. I've checked eBay, Rockauto and Autozone, but there are no specific listings for the GXP...and if there is, it specifies that it's not for the "performance package."
If you have a recent GXP parts list, let me know the part numbers for the Calipers, Brackets and Rotors, please. I think that's all i'd need, really...well, besides the pads, which i'd go aftermarket for.
Lastly, does anyone know if there would be any problem doing this? Someone posted a while ago that the GXP calipers bolted right up. Would the brake booster function properly with the new calipers? Would there be anything in the computer that would hinder this install?
Thanks!

buff did ya have any luck with this GXP setup?? I'm thinking it's time to upgrade my brake system before I do to much more to the car. Debating on just getting a set of the R1 concepts premium rotors with either semi-metallic or ceramic pads but having the 20's on the car makes the rotors look just.... I guess miss proportionate?? That giant gap there now is just disturbing lol, was thinking of trying to find a set of larger rotors for the car but having no luck when searching the net for it.
I guess if I did have to go with the R1's is it better to go drilled, slotted, or drill/slotted. It seems they both have their pro's con's just curious on what people experience with the rotors has been so far. Guess also if there are better brands just atm seems to me that the R1's are front runner in my opinion since Brembo has nothin for our cars yet
drilled- got crack?
slotted- pads get used up like a hooker on the Vegas strip
drilled/slotted- ...don't even wanna give this one a description

No, no luck. I've been looking on eBay and have found nothing...and Ed Morad (common GP salvager) hasn't listed much in the line of brake parts.
I'm also considering the R1's in the spring before I put the 20" on...that is unless I can find GXP's by then.

Ask Ed if he has any GXP brakes for sale. He might not put these up on Ebay because of the fact that most of the people off Club-GP want these and it would be a waste of time to list on Ebay. Send a message to him via Club-GP.

There's a f-body conversion kit and just a caliper install kit on there too. Might be able to find some cheap f-body calipers or something, but you still would have to upgrade to the longer brake lines and it gets spendy fast...
