looks fantastic, I of course am biased, but the yellow is grrrr8! I may be out of the loop, but is the ebrake retained or are you doing without now?

e-brake is functional all you need to do is buy a pair of rear shoe from Greg at wasslow.com and sorry for the mispelling on the title

I hope to be doing this in the next few months. It still bothers me that they skimped out on the rear brake on the GXP. Ditto for the seats. The GXP as originally shown had both four-wheel Brembos and HSV bucket seats.

I love those wheels AND the yellow looks awesome! I've been trying to decide what color to go with on my SBM and red is all I can see working.

Fixed. Just let a moderator know of changes to any titles you need. We'll fix 'em.

Looks grrrr8! I've had the complete rear set sitting around waiting for this damn heat to cool off a bit before I do the swap.

Yes to both questions. I just installed mine yesterday and it's pretty straight forward. The rear brackets and custom made e-brake shoes were purchased through Greg at Wasslow.com. Contact Greg to see if he has them in stock still. The e-brake shoe can be removed and installed without removing the axle (the manual says so, but we now know otherwise). Also the rear Brembo calipers are roughly $64 new, and you can get the rear rotors from slp on ebay for $60 shipped with less than 100 miles on them. Hope that helps some.

Yes.
Yes to both questions.
+1 on his info.
You need the following, and Greg's site will be the source for all of this where possible.
Custom G8 parking brake shoes (http://wasslow.com/G8CustomEbrakeShoes.aspx) (allows use of Camaro rotors; out of stock as of this posting, but Greg has more on order)
G8 rear Brembo Brake adapter kit (http://wasslow.com/G8RearBremboCaliperAdapterBracketKit.aspx) (correctly positions Brembo rear caliper; includes bolts needed for caliper and bracket)
Right (http://wasslow.com/92233176-CamaroRightRearBremboCaliper.aspx) and left (http://wasslow.com/92233177-CamaroLeftRearBremboCaliper.aspx) rear Camaro Brake calipers. You can have them powdercoated any color, or you can PM Greg and ask for the last-gen CTS-V calipers instead, which come silver and have a black "V" on them.
Pin kit (http://wasslow.com/89047728-Camaro/CTS-VRearBremboCaliperPinKit.aspx). The other users/Greg can correct me if this is not needed as extra, but this should be the pins and springs to bridge the caliper window and hold the pads in place.
Camaro Rotor and Pads. Greg can provide these as well, or you can purchase them elsewhere. For my part, I'll purchase DBA rotors (http://www.wretchedms.com/category_s/345.htm) and Hawk HPS (http://www.wretchedms.com/category_s/350.htm) pads to match my front wheels (Hey, another vendor!).
Hope this helps!
