06 GXP front calipers

[Logan541]

Will the front calipers from an 06 fit a 1997 GT with no mods? are they as good as the fbodys?

Thanks
Logan

Straight from the brake thread.

Bigger is always better, The GXP upgrade
GXP upgrade is just like the F-body upgrade, it’s a direct bolt in though. There is no need to use spacers or tap the bracket. GXP calipers do use the F-body banjo bolts though. Nothing much more to say here as this all just bolts right in. I would recommend the OEM 12.7” rotors; they are $60 a piece and are molded with the drilled effect. This can be picked up at ZZP or pieced together (hunt eBay or RockAuto).
This setup also requires 17” wheels with a correct offset (despite what ZZP says)

One more question I already bought the firebird front rotors will they still work? thanks again

No, the rotors are too small.

F-body are 12in, GXP are 12.7in.

You must have 17's to run GXP brakes aswell.

Read the thread..

Ahh thanks I don't want to change my rims but the backs can still take 16" right ?
