Good news... So they fit all models then... did you use the GTO hose or did you stick with the catera one...

And the price is great too... I got mine for 50$ shipped from the GTO forums... they were almost new...

Re: GTO Brake SWAP LOG.

The ones I got have 22,000 miles. I used the GTO to make sure I have enough slack in the lines. Best thing is by fitting the 16 inch wheel it gives so many options for wheels. The car I am building is being set up as if it was an original package option on the Catera so I am sticking with the stock, chrome wheels.It's great having a spare Catera to try fitting parts on so I don't have to disable my primary one.

Re: GTO Brake SWAP LOG.

Apparently I don't have enough posts to respond to private messages. Sorry guys, I sold my 04 GTO calipers.

Re: GTO Brake SWAP LOG.

Talking Re: GTO Brake SWAP LOG.

Thats cool the only problem I have with the C5 pads is that they don't have the retaining clip that you see on the middle tooth of the caliper and so the outside pad actually rattles and can be annoying sometimes. Otherwise my next set of pads will certainly be the C5 ones these are good enough for now...

I havent touched the rears I might get some new pads for there but that will be in the next few months... Right now I am trying to finish up the rear panel and the Opel badging and then its off to the new wing for the trunk...

They will not fit unless you also change to the 05-06 hub and disc, if that can even be done. Of course now you'll have hubs/discs with a different lug bolt pattern from stock meaning you'll need different wheels fore and aft. Might be the reason far no one has tried it that I know of.
