This is a log for an upgrade of front brakes on a Cadillac Catera (97-01). CAUTION! Brakes may not fit on the 97-99model. The test vehicle is a 2001 Catera Sport and the brakes on it may or may not be the same as yours so please do your homework before hand.

Brakes Information:
Front: 296mm diameter single piston self adjusting ventilated disc brakes
