    Question Stillen GTO brakes - VZ ute?

    Hey guys... could be a stupid question but im looking at some Stillen Drilled & Slotted Rotors for my LS1 VZ SS ute and as the website is american I have look at an '04 Pontiac GTO sized rotors as Holden doesn't exist in America lol, would this be right? Are the GTO's the same as the 5.7 SS's at all... my guess is they are


    If ur wondering why Stillen, just think they look good tis all... If anyone has any experiance or advice with Stillen or drilled & slotted rotors in general let us know, cheers..

    Why would you ever want to go to great expense to buy, then arrange shipment, negotiate Customs for something that is readily available in Australia and manufactured by Australian manufacturers employing Australians to install on an Australian built car !!!!!

    Because he can. If you're not even going to bother addressing his question, then why bother posting?

    Matty, I think the GTO's had the bigger calipers and 370mm rotors that were shared with the SSZ. I suggest youi sign up to ls1.com and ask the guys what size rotors are fitted to the GTO and go from there. Good luck!

    Thumbs up

    Cheers guys thanks for your replies I will definitely have to look into it further...
    As for Australian parts on an Australian car argument... "One of the main parts of the car is from America..!" (the engine lol)

    *Just found out the '04 5.7L GTO had 297mm upfront and 287mm in the rears...
