Rear brembos for 2012 SSV Redline

[426Cuda]

OP - Why not buy the silver 4 pot rear calipers off the Caddy and paint them red to suit? Mine were about $250 delivered for the pair.

I find the front brembos in my redline ample enough. Huge stopping power with some good pads..

Unless your making huge power, Or going for crazy track times id say go for it.

I believe there is covers you can get if you want the rear to look like the fronts...


cheers

Are you able to share where you got them from? That's dirt cheap!

Yes they are big brakes but I am looking at supercharging and I have heard the stock ones with better pads do the job..... But my wife insists that I get them and yellow..... U can't argue with that

Yep - See below. They are Brembo's made for AC Delco

Calipers were $232.41 + $13.11 for the spring kit + postage.

You also need pads, 350mm or 355mm rotors (355 is the best option), plus new bolts from Holden.

Just wondering who supplies front rotors 370mm for ve redline

GSL Rallysport. I weighed these up, GM high performance Brembo part cheaper than DBA, much lighter, definitely looks spectacular.

Bottom line is the drilling of the knuckle to fit caliper is a bit dodgy, doesn't sit well with my reason for getting big brakes.

Like 426Cuda says you get a more effective braking system with 4x355mm rotors and four-pot Brembos than one pair of über spec six pots up front and mini discs fitted with one pot screamers anchoring your rear. 12 pots front 2 pot rear changes the braking bias to near 100% front, pushing the vehicle toward instability by under braking the rear.

It is not so much emergency braking once or twice but max distributed stopping torque and cooling 'lightens' our behemoth by increasing dynamic performance such that you can throw the car around more with confidence.

My brembo rears arrived today from Amazon, massive for rears!! Still waiting on the pin kit as I ordered genuine part number. Pads of choice are on the way as well and once all arrived I will get the custom T3's from brakes direct (GSL). Cant wait!!

 

[Tumbler]

Yes this is true big brakes little brakes 12s & 2s, but thinking 12 front 8 rear but maybe 8 and 8 what pads do you recommend

So ACDelco are they really brembos
