Are the ATS calipers a direct bolt on? Also... do I need to worry about what year I buy if I have a 2011?

ATS Calipers are a direct bolt onto V6 brake rotors. You may have to trim your dust shield, that's the only modification needed.

My main question is does the year matter?

Anyone know if these ATS Brembo calipers resolve the caliper interference problem with the rear anti-swaybar when installing a 1LE suspension on a V6?

I went ahead and bought the calipers from ZZperformance. They were brand new and came with Power Stop pads too for around $350. I have started to instal and it has been super easy and the mock up looks awesome. Everything is going well except for my banjo bolts don't fit into the new calipers. My cars is a for export model and may have metric size brakes or something... I don't know... Anyway they ar slightly too big to fit into the Brembos. I have been searching for hours (literally) and can't find the exact size of banjo bolt that I need. If anyone knows please tell me before I go crazy or just by every single bolt size I can find! I will have pix of the install after I finish!

Ok, finally success. Installation was pretty easy when I had all the right parts and right tools. I was really worried that there would be some modification needed but it all went together quickly, just trimmed the dust shields like the OP has mentioned a few times in this thread. The benefits for me are low cost, I could take the whole setup in my carryon luggage and I also get to keep my upgraded rotors and brake lines. These callipers are also much much lighter than the stock pieces too. I am bedding in the pads and will give some impressions after some time.

So you guys find the stock master cylinder still gives good feel with the multi piston calipers?
Any answer to the rear sway bar interference question? I've got a Hotchkiss rear bar that currently clears the caliper.

prichmon · 04-17-2017, 07:18 PM

Is there any benefit from the ATS rears?

Thanks

i bought the 4 piston brembo for the front and had bought the rotors from the dealership but the caliper doesn't seems to fit any thoughts? i'm guessing the rotor might be to big i have a 2014.

Please provide some details on what you purchased (what rotors, are they the same size as the stock ones etc) pictures might help. I just did this and it all fit with no issues.

We had the same problem. No notes for the bolt. It's too late to help you, but others may want to know the banjo bolt # I used today on my Son's conversion is GM#23372321.

I have a 1LE rear bar on my '15 LT and the end link clears the caliper just fine. the only interference was installing the bar because it is pretty tight to the calipers but once installed it sits above the calipers.
