Re: GTO Brake SWAP LOG.

Hey guys, finally got all the parts for the swap. Spent a little time and here's what I got (sorry for the dirty wheels)
Drilled rotors, new Hawk pads- C5 Vette's in the front, regular in the rear, caliper parts painted black

I painted the rear dust cover black to keep it from being seen. Will probably paint the rear caliper black later as well

looks quite clean

C5 pads slide right into the GTO calipers




pad size and caliper comparison


and the result


Took the car out last night. Broke the pads in. Did a couple slow speed sudden stops and... wow... really nice and tight. The only bad thing- the Vette pads do rattle, but that's OK. I can aways go to GTO pads if I want to.
Oh yeah, and I beat a Cayman S 3 times on a roll while out...
Later
