Keep an eye on the pin kit. The ones that come with pads are often a few mm's shorter than the OEM ones. I reuse mine every time because of this. They have the possibility of backing out.

No problem. I'm sure they're probably safe 99.999% of the time, but I have seen a forum post about it happening before with a different set of Brembos. You can really tell the difference looking at the front of the caliper. Mine, with the OEM pin kit, look like this. www.carid.com/images/brembo/page/bottom/brake-kit.jpg

clutchthepearls Wow! You took the words right out of my mouth , I just did lower dust pads on my e63 amg and the pins they gave me where shorter I didn't like that , the stock ones you can see the cone of the pin stick out past the caliper for visual complete seat , another reason is the stock pins are stainless steel no stick with a magnet , the ones included where zinc coated steel equals possible rust

That looks great! I was surprised at the brake pads you chose though, performance calipers and big rotors with a ceramic pad. The ceramic pad is made for comfort and low noise but you get a lot more braking grip from a performance semi metallic brake pad like ebc yellow stuff or blue stuff if available with the calipers. Thought I'd mention this since people that watching for performance upgrade options might copy your choices and wonder why they don't notice much difference in stopping power.

He specifically mentioned aesthetics. That's what 95+% of ppl have these BBKs for. How's the noise level with aggressive pads? Coz I see a lot of annoying squeaking (not sure I trust the drilled and slotted rotirs either) with ppl spending 2Gs or more. That's unacceptable.

I'm doing the same CTS-V brake swap onto my 97 Z28 with the same 4-Piston Calipers but I'll also swap in "Detroit Speed" SKF X-Tracker wheel hubs. My Camaro needs a 1 inch or 1-1/4 spacer that has it's own studs because both my 18 inch C5 Magnesium Wheels that I use for road racing and my 18 inch C6 wheels for the street were both over a inch inside the fenders. For brake rotors I'm using C6 Z06 Eradispeed rotors from Baer which might have a tiny difference in offset. If so, a few washers in between the spindle and caliper should center the brake caliper and brake pads. Using the C6 Z06 Rotors, you don't have to have the center bore enlarged verses the 5th Gen SS Camaro...

You provide enough information for the reasonable competent enthusiast to do the job. What adds to my comfort level is you give enough explanation of why without getting too involved again reasonable competent. Should have no trouble what so ever. I performed a similar up grade to my old 3rd gen 92 formula 350 WS6. using C-5 13" with the stock 4th gen Rrs PBR and 17x9 all around with a square tire 275/55 17. used the 1le combo valve the get more rear brake bias. worked well one of the best upgrades I made to the car better even than the 383 /425WHP with beefed 700R4 . Thanks for sharingt his is a great upgrade again throe explain and illustration. Happy new sub. going to binge watch a bit.

Did you installed a brake proportioning valve? And tested and set it, as explained in another youtube miata video and regain front/rear wheel lock as the stock setup the factory dialed. Should set to front and rear to lock at the same time, And then dial a little more front lock. And also regaining oversteer understeer stock setup Both of these setups can be dangerous is not addressed. Another youtube brembo instalation ended locking the the front tires At a minimum pedal presure.

@@Psykldoc for 18in wheels, a 275/35/18 tire is same diameter as stock, and does not require speedo recalibration. For as big of an upgrade as this is over stock, it is cheap and easy. If you were familiar prices of kits like Baer, Wilwood, etc, this CTSV setup is very cheap and easy Also, the use of OEM parts is nice for future serviceability. Having the rotors machined really shouldnt be a big deal, and shouldnt be very expensive.

It’s funny that I just added a “big brake kit” to my 3rd gen 89 IROC and by big brake kit I mean the 98-02 “LS1” brakes. And dont get me wrong the LS1 brakes on a 3rd gen is a dramatic improvement over the stock 10” single piston front brakes. But what I like is that now since I have the modified spindles I only need the correct bracket for whatever brakes I want. So quick question, what power level would you recommend to justify upgrading to these brakes?, I’m currently sitting at 330 hp at the tire

The car is a T-top but I’ve added weld in s. frame connectors. Like I said I have the “ls1” brakes up front and pbr calipers out back on a BW 9 bolt with 3.27 gearing. I’m in the middle of a power train swap right now with an Lq4 running 862 heads, so 10.5:1 compression, drop in truck cam for the 6.0 so power wise on paper at least I think ill be sitting at around stock ls3 power with everything coming in early because of the truck cam (using a truck cam because this isn’t a race car and I wanted my hp / tq down low). I have the opportunity to get a set of 2012 Camaro SS brakes for practically nothing and from what I’ve read my car will be 600-800 lbs lighter than the 5th gen.

The calipers are basically the same but have different mounting points. Do the ctsv its more of a direct swap Alex

@LegitStreetCars
@LegitStreetCars 7 жыл бұрын
I didn't do anything with the rear. Some say too much rear brakes on these cars make them break loose on hard braking. There are proportioning valves you can get but a lot of people just do the fronts and they work great. Just put a good pad back there. Check the links in the video. You can buy brake new loaded CTS V calipers for like $350 Alex

Yes it will depend on your wheel design as well. I'm running a concave design wheel and they're 40 offset but it wasn't enough so I had to run a 5mm spacer pushing it out to 35 offset, the wheel clears by a 1-2mm

??? Almost every company makes a disc conversion for this car. If you're referring to rear brakes. The optional rear disc from Firebird (same Generation). The system was the same on the early RWD Seville. The only problem is the Seville is the big 5 (5X5" bolt pattern). So you'll need Firebird rotors. 01 and newer S-10 Blazer 2WD (easier to incorporate parking brake). 3 or 4th gen Camaro 4 TH gen best.

So, I've had this whole setup sitting in my basement for the past 4 years. The only thing holding me back right now is dropping 1500 bucks on new wheels and tires due to my 17 SS wheels. The other issue is whether to paint them. I also have a white fbody and currently red calipers but I really can't justify messing with the factory coating they have even though it says CTSV... Lastly, I always wanted to ask someone who did this if they felt a difference in steering or anything up front from the added weight?

I was debating that too since the calipers came siver like on the Cts. Here's what you can do. Run it silver at first and see if you like it. If you do you're done but if you don't it's not hard to take them back off for paint. I really like the red on my white car though, silver may blend in too much.
