Rear Brembo conversion for M6 GXP

[MoonPie]

I got the brackets from Squash right before he announced they were discontinuing them. Just got Greg's kit this morning, going on next weekend. Will finally be done with that front only Brembo bullshit. Funny thing, one caliper has the V insignia and the other blank. Anyone know of a good day to remove the V sign? I'm actually glad I have to worry about removing it, doing one's easier than doing two. I haven't examined the caliper two closely, just opened them up when they came this morning before I left for work. Is the V painted on? I think this will be a great finishing touch. Like the lowerig springs and CTS-V wheels were. It completes a car that was sold uncompleted, user assembly required.

I've never seen one come w/o the logo. Make sure it fits and is pretty much the mirror of the other caliper. Brembo boxes caliper wrong sometimes. I ordered a ZL1 caliper once and got a black Lexus IS-F caliper.

Left is V, right is blank. Major difference I noticed is circled.

Yes those difference above are correct.

Well I guess it worked out for you not having to remove two logos :)

Sweet, so I'm not fucked that's awesome. Going on this weekend. Anyone have some as advice for the emblem?

Didn't get to it until today, but it's almost finished. Curious, how many of us have done a rear conversion or complete upgrade? Big time notice in stopping ability? And big thanks to Greg for the hookup and shipping was fast. Ordered it and bout day later it was at my garage door. You da man! Thanks.


Don't have the custom e-brake shoes her so I've a couple wheel chocks I use when parking and only park on flat surfaces now. Fucknuts!

Big thanks to Greg for the package, squash for the brackets I purchased right before he announced the end of production and toedrag for hooking me up with the shoes less than a week later.
