hey guys i'm currently trying to upgrade my v6 brakes and rotors.
I want to buy it off amazon because I can finance it and build some credit. as of right now I have front rotors that will fit but cannot find calipers that will fit. I was thinking though, that if i'm upgrading the rotors would these calipers fit. If someone could help that'd be great. If you can help can you find pads and lines and fluid that will work as well please

Well if you are wanting six piston calipers you are on the right track. Here is a thread with all the part numbers that will fit your car. Not sure what wheels you have. That may be an issue with clearing the calipers.

You will also want to get a set of brake lines. Call JDP Motorsports and they can set you up with the right brake lines or look in the thread for the part number.

You will also want to get a set of four piston calipers and rotors for the rear. There is a cheaper solution for rotors also in that thread instead of the ZL1 rotors.

I'm getting the new 228 z28 replicas do you know if it'll fit?

CHMSC · 01-13-2015, 11:55 AM

Best thing to do is ask the vendor who you are buying them from. They should know what will or will not work. But yes it should fit.

toehead93 · 01-13-2015, 12:05 PM

Amazon has the stock pads too. Also, make sure you order ZL1 brake lines. I ordered mine from Racing Brake.

CHMSC · 01-13-2015, 12:19 PM

I ordered my pads from racing brake. Great pad, no noise and cheaper than OEM pads.

inferno2ls · 01-13-2015, 01:28 PM

Where do I get brake lines? And what do you guys recommend for rear brakes? I can't find any rear rotors on amazon

JDP Sales · 01-13-2015, 01:46 PM

For the brake lines I suggest Goodridge part # 12227.

For the rear brakes, OEM SS rotors and calipers are a good way to go.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

okay guys almost done piecing this together just have to order the zl1 brake lines from jdp
trying to get upgraded 4 pistons brembos on the rear now would these rotors work? http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-177-1051-Original-Equipment-Brake/dp/B00558C9YC/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_7 would those rotors work for both rear passenger and rear driver side?
and what brake pads do you recommend ? hawks? or find oem on amazon?

Destructo09 · 01-14-2015, 10:11 AM

I'm running the stoptech Performance street pads on my car right now. So far their silent and have good feel to them. Not quite as aggressive as the Hawk HP+ I was using and the hawks were really noisy. Also, their very affordable by comparison, I think the whole set cost me less than 140 from amazon.

Far as I know they should make pads for that 6 piston cadillac caliper as well. They should work especially well with the bigger calipers.

The rear rotors are the same for both sides.

As for pads, what are you doing with the car? Pad selection varies by application/usage.

Getting ready to go to the track but probably more daily driving than anything

If you're mixing track and street, OEM will likely be your best option. Once you progress, you'll want to get a dedicated set of track and street pads.
