URGENTLY Need help on Cadillac ATS Brake Caliper conversion

michaels.2lt · 12-16-2021, 04:31 PM

I’m doing a swap from my stock LT calipers to the BREMBO 4 pistons from the 2013+ Cadillac ATS. Does anyone know if I need different brake lines? Whether from the SS or the ATS? Supposedly the stock ones fit, but I’m struggling to connect the fittings to the calipers all the way.
Thanks for any info, I’m struggling hard lol

Looks like I’m just needing new crush washers or a new banjo bolt, but I can’t find those for the life of me. Ace Hardware, Autozone, Home Depot, nothing.

Well, we tightened the brake lines down a little more, and she’s not leaking, we will see if that holds up!

I can't tell you about the CTS but on the Camaro the SS Brembo brake line is shorter than the stock LT and you can buy crush washers and banjo bolts from Napa. Make sure you have full range of operation on the brake lines and they don't bind up and you should be good to go. Be prepared to buy a pack of 10 though. take in the banjo bolt with you to get the correct size.
