97-03 GXP Rear Upgrade..What Rotors?

[Blake71091]

Searched for about 15 minutes didn't really get a clear answer.

I bought the GXP front rotors for my fronts.

Do I just need to buy a pair of GXP rear rotors for the rear?

Yup.

I trust you know about the ebrake situation as well?

97-03 is direct swap, isnt it?

04+ need a GXP or 97-03 knuckle in order for the e-brake to work...yes?

I thought it was firebird not GXP rotors to go with the upgrade on 97-03.

thats for front caliper up grades, these guys are talking rear caliper up grade, the gxp brakes are larger and fit right on a gp or regal or other w body.

your good, fronts are 98-02 camaro/firebird either of them, same brakes.

rears are whole new ball game.

F body rears haven't been done, no point.

F body front rotors can work with your stock calipers, F body calipers, C5/C6 calipers with F body brackets and so on. In fact, that "f body" rotor is the 12" GM car rotor as in it was the "HD" brake option from GM. Found on Impalas, Monte Carlos around the early 2000's and so on.

GXP brakes are bigger than LS1 F body anyways.

GXP rears will bolt right up for me, correct?

Assuming the title implies you have a 97-03 GP, then yes.
