So,
This is the first time I heard that you need a programmer/scan-tool to do a full brake bleed. So, if I want to completely flush my brake fluid, I need a programmer? |

No. It is not necessary unless the system has been run dry, or at least to the point air has entered the ABS manifold. You can swap the brake calipers, brake lines and/or flush the fluid without needing to cycle the ABS valves. Standard bleeding practices apply. Some GM vehicles (like the Hummer H3) do require a special procedure to open the rear circuit (it's in the service manual), but the Camaro's I've seen don't require this.

would it be possible to post a parts list with part numbers so if we have our own in with parts we can follow in your footsteps?

Pete, the SS brake calipers are Brembo's, do you know who makes the 6 piston CTS-V calipers? SLP upgraded their car with 6 piston Brembo's and did not see much of a difference in stopping distance. Have you had a chance to test the stopping distance of the SS brakes and the Camaro with CTS-V brakes?

If all you are doing is bleeding a caliper you do not need to cycle the ABS pump and would not need a Tech II. |

Having said that, there is no guarantee of better panic stopping distances. That is controlled by the tires and ABS. To stop quicker, get stickier tires and make slight change to the mechanical brake bias. Has anyone done the math on the CTS-V system to make sure it is has the correct balance for the V-8 Camaro? If it moves it more toward the front axle, that would be going the wrong way. Chris |
