Default Has anyone done CTS-V REAR caliper upgrade on 02 F-Body

I have completed the front caliper/rotor install. Best change to the car as yet, bar none. The stock rear brakes are showing signs of stress as well as looking pretty shitty compared to the fronts. Has anyone attempted the install of the rear 4-piston Brembo's? I found a guy in Detroit that has a bracket but he says no parking brake. Not an option for me.
Lastly, I have seen a Brembo "spot" parking brake set-up on a Dodge Viper but can not locate a part source despite extensive search. Can anyone help? I have no problem fabricating the bracketry, but if someone has been here already it would obviously save me a pile of time. Anyone?

Search "pad knock" and that will point you in another direction. I went through this all before when I did the 6 piston zo6 brakes on mine. Unless you want to change your rear end up and eliminate the c clips you will run into undesirable issues. The calipers need to float as the axels do.

Put a fixed caliper on a floating axel and the pads will just violently knock. Baer makes a sort of adaptor I saw once in gmhtp.

Besides that, the rears have more than ample power as is. But it would be cool to pull that off.

Along with massive pad knock back, you will get some pretty violent rear axle hop under braking. You don't want more braking power than the stock calipers provide.
