i'm getting ready to do my 3rd set of front brakes on my car...i've noticed that it takes absolutely nothing to warp the stock front brake rotors...so here's my question...for those of you that have upgraded to gxp front brakes does this alleviate this? it's less than an inch larger for the rotors....and whoever else including drunkie that has done the cts-v upgrade any signs of warping?

i do quite a few mountain trips a year with my car and it always seems to be some arsehole cuts me off or changes lanes and i have to hammer on the brakes going downhill at 60-70 mph...

i'm leaning towards the 14inch cts upgrade..makes sense to me to go big or go home but if the gxp can handle it....

thanks for any input...gotta order parts soon down to 3mm on my pads. (which means i gotta order rims too i guess)
 


No warping for me. But its up to you on whether to do GXP or CTS-V, they both work out to about the same price. You have to have 18s with the CTS-V, GXPs can take 17s
 
If you are doing the Cts-v upgrade you have to find the right 18" wheel as well.. not any 18 will work.. as far as warping on them i havent yet.. and i have hit them pretty hard once or twice ;)
 


Like you said. Go big or go home.
I do think you would be fine with some GXP brakes, but unless you want to go new. There hard to find.
