The Big Bad Brake Thread







Silver GTP said:
I looked at it again and you're right. The brackets on an 02 and an 05 are different. I don't know if the 05 brackets will work or not. I know for sure that the 02 Monte brackets work with the calipers from the 02 GTP and the 02 Monte rotors.

I bought the hardware kit because that was what the local parts store had in stock. You can buy just the boots under the caliper bushing section. Those rotors should work fine.

I just bought the parts for this yesterday, but I'm unsure on the hardware kit, at this point. Some hardware kits show a picture of some long rubber tubes (4) that come with the boot kit and the Wagner kit I got only has two short rubber tubes. Can someone explain which I need? Will I be able to use the old ones from the original brackets if I didn't buy the right ones?
 
Sorry, I figured anyone familiar with this would know off the top of their head. I can't post photos here. 11kb must be too large.

If the boots are all I need, then I'll just disregard the other parts. Thanks.
 
Yes, you only need the four rubber boots for the new brackets. All the old bolts transfer over. You can use the old ones, but good luck getting them out of the brackets intact. Most parts stores will have them in stock if you need them. I think I grabbed mine at Autozone.
 


i have an 02 gtp. i was under the impression that in order to upgrade to 12" rotors in the front all i needed was the caliper bracket from like an impala or monte carlo and the 12" rotor from 1 of those 2 cars as well. i need to change the caliper too?
