Anyone know of any good V6 brake swaps?
Looking to find a new set of rotors with painted calipers for my 2011 V6.

have seen some nice rotors on tire rack.com.i think they were anodised to prevent rust.i just painted my stock calipers with red ceramic brake paint and they look good,will get new rotors whenever the pads wear out.

I have a front set of red brembo calipers off my 1LE from when I upgraded to six pistons. I've heard of V6 guys upgrading to the four piston brembos but not sure what else you would need.

i put the 4 piston brembos on mine, just need rotors, calipers, pads, rear brake lines. you need to modify the rear brake dust shield to make it fit, or to do it right you can replace it. i also replaced the front brake lines just because i got steel braided lines front and rear but that's optional, as is the master cylinder which i never replaced and had zero issues

The 4 piston Brembos are pretty damn good, I can’t imagine how the 6 piston fronts will haul it down. Stoppies in a Camaro?
