GXP to GT Brembo Brake installation

[G8V8]

***EDIT*** 5/26** According to the Brake Kit web page at Pace Performance, the ONLY OEM G8 wheels that will accept the GXP front brakes are the GXP wheels. The 18" V6 and GT and 19" Sport Package wheels will not fit.

The first of 2 packages came today. It was the GXP Brake kit that Greg has put together. This first box has everything except the rotors. The rotors are due to be delivered to me tomorrow.

Here are a couple photos of the contents of the kit with the optional SS brake lines.

There were 2 calipers, left and right. 4 caliper mounting bolts. 2 sets of GM (Ferodo) pads, Pad mounting pins and clips and the Russell SS brake line kit. It is a very complete kit. I forgot to ask for speed Bleeders or they would have been in the kit too. I found some locally.

There seems to be an inside and an outside pad. Each pad has an arrow printed on it and one end is tapered.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/99565775-DSCN0239_1317.JPG

After looking at them for a while I saw that if you pair up the pads with the beveled ends on the same side, the arrows of the pair of pads pointed the same direction and this direction would be the direction of rotor travel if the pads were loaded into the calipers with the bevel ends down.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0244_1322.JPG

There are thin metal plates that mate up with the back of the pad. The plates have 2 small fingers that rest on the top edge of the pad.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/620210990-DSCN0241_1319.JPG

I loaded the pads and their backing plates using the pins from the kit. I made sure to select and locate the pads so that the arrows pointed in the direction of rotor rotation. One pin was pushed all the way through to capture both pads. I did not seat the pins because i was doing this for photos. The second pin was pushed in only enought to holds the inside pad in place.

There is a spring clip that is retained by the pins. I put one end under the fully engaged pin and pushed down on the other end to allow the second pin to slid in and through the locating hole in the outside pad and caliper.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0247_1325.JPG

During the actual installation, I would have seated these pins using a hammer and punch or plastic mallet, etc.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0249_1327.JPG

Here is an underside view showing the pads in place. Note the bevels.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0250_1328.JPG

I will post more photos as the installation actually takes place, tomorrow. Greg did a fantastic job putting the kit together. Thanks, Greg.

I did not show putting the anti-squeel paste in place because I didn't want the mess and because I was not sure if it went on both sides on the thin metal plates or just one.

Anybody know? Does the side contacting the pistons get any paste?

***EDIT: On Charlie's advice, I put the paste only between the pad backing plate and the thin spacer. Brakes seem quit though I did get a little squeel, initially, when backing up. Only happened once, at least for now.***

Along these lines, if anybody sees anything wrong, PLEASE let me know.

Thanks.

[p71]

looking good what was the final price for the kit?

[2008g8gt]

nice kit! may i ask how much it ran and if it has a gm part number?

[G8V8]

Greg at Pace can give you the final price. These are all GM parts except for the SS lines but as far as I know, it is not a GM "kit". Greg has pulled it all together to make a kit of parts that supply everything needed. My "kit" is a pre-droduction, as it were, item to check it all out before offering it, officially, for sale.

[GT G8]

I'll take 2.

[Rican219]

SUBSCRIBED!!!!

I wanna do this soo bad. Price I bet was over 2k.

[G8V8]

The rotors came this morning as promised:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0252_1330.JPG
They really are bigger!

The part I feared the most was getting the old rotors off. I have 18K on them and they have never been removed.

I put the car on stands and removed the wheels. Next I used a 10mm line wrench and cracked the hose connection at the chassis. I removed the bolt holding the coupling support bracket and then finished unscrewing the chassis hose connection. I found a plactic cap in my junk drawer so I used it to keep brake fluid from dripping out of the rigid line.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0259_1337.JPG

Next I put a catch pan under the caliper and removed the banjo bolt. I took the blue plug that was in the Brembo banjo hole and plugged off the GT caliper banjo hole to contain the fluid. The hose support removes from the bracket on the strut by rotating 90* and sliding it out. The support collar has 2 flats that when it is rotated allow it to slide out.

The caliper unbolts easily. The rotor was a different matter.

I needed a little help:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0267_1345.JPG

I sprayed some PB Blaster on the hub edge and into the lug holes. I also sprayed some along the hub edge from behind the rotor. After letting it soak for a while, I used my "little friend" to hit the back side of the rotor while rotating it to different positions. The block of alumunum transferred the blows but protected the disk from damage. After 8 to 10 blows the rotor popped loose. It worked the same for both sides of the car.

The new rotor slipped right on. I used a couple of lug nuts to hold it against the hub. The caliper was mounted next using the supplied bolts. I think the kit bolts are a little longer than they need to be but they did not hit anything.

With the rotor and caliper in place I checked my wheel spoke clearance.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0256_1334.JPG
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0258_1336.JPG

I had plenty with these wheels. With the GT calipers I had about an inch. With the Brembos it was more like 3/8" to almost 1/2" or so.

I used the sealing washers in the SS line kit and the GT banjo bolts to snug the caliper connection. The lines fit well but they were mismarked driver and passenger. It was easy to spot when you looked at the brackets.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0261_1339.JPG
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0264_1342.JPG
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0265_1343.JPG
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0260_1338.JPG

The banjo gets torqued to 26 ft-pounds.

I used speed bleeders to help get the air out of the lines. I ended up pumping an entire large bottle of DOT 4 throught the system and I only did the fronts today. It sure looks nice when all that comes out is clear fluid. Greg can supply quality speed bleeders. I forgot to ask for them so had to find some locally on short notice. You need 10mm x 1 mm. I used "HELP!" brand from Car Quest. Part number 12706 but they are not a nice as the Russells.

***EDIT: One of my bleeders leaked. I'm not sure why. I know I had them all tight. I lost the rubber cap and I can confirm with no uncertantity, the OEM Brembo Paint will not stand up to Dot 4. Luckily the damage was not much and I was able to touch it up. Just to be safe I replaced the speed bleader. If you plan to use speed bleeders, get the good one from Greg when you buy your kit.***

***EDIT: MAKE SURE TO GET SMALL CLEAR TUBING TO ATTACH TO THE SPEED BLEEDER. Mine must have been a little big or got stretched out from bleeding during the install. I went back today to check the bleeding and attached the hose to the speed bleeder, opened it about 1/4 turn or so and pumped the brakes 6 or 7 time. When I got out there was DOT 4 everywhere. The tube had blown off the bleeder and I had shot brake fluid all over the inside of the fender, strut, suspension, etc. Luckily I had a garden hose right there and gave everything a good wash down. It looked like everything survived. Be CAREFUL! ***

Before heading out to bed them in:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0254_1332.JPG

After returning:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/65524/DSCN0268_1346.JPG

I'll get some better photos later today and tomorrow.

Braking felt slightly bettere. Brake lever feel and travel were about the same. I did not do the rear lines but will on Monday. I could not really try these out as I was bedding the pads and rotors and they needed a cool down period before trying them again.

Greg, this kit is going to be a winner. Thanks.

***EDIT: Hubs painted black.***

ORLY?!!! Can you PM me it? Or should I get with pace?

[G8V8]

OMG I want!! Install pretty straight forward?

Really straight forward. The first one took me a couple of hours, exclusive of bleeding because I was figuring out what tools and i was taking photos. The second side took 1/2 hour.

[Rican219]

niiice!!

[G8V8]

ORLY?!!! Can you PM me it? Or should I get with pace?

You should get it from Greg at Pace. I was evaluating the kit and assembly process for him to verify all the parts were included and that everything fit as expected. It was all GRRRR8!

If Greg can get slightly shorter caliper mounting bolts I'll swap those out but that is all I would change.

One thing is for sure though, YOU BETTER HAVE WHEELS WITH A LOT OF SPOKE TO CALIPER CLEARANCE. Many wheels will not accept these calipers. If somebody in the DC area whats to try their GT Sport wheels on mine, we can work that out. I'm not sure if Greg has had a GXP to try the GT wheels on but he could better address that issue.

Go onto tireRack and select G8Gt and look at the wheel choices. Then select 2009 G8 GXP. You will be amazed by the few choices. It is spoke clearance that is key.

Nice work! Looks great. Can't wait to get mine from Pace as well. Hope the total price comes in under 1K. Better than 1.9K for a Baer front kit.

[G8V8]

I think you will be pleased. It is a great kit. I just got back from a drive and the initial bite feels better and it stops with authority.

[-Ray-]

Excellent write up Ed. Looks awesome.

[p71]

How is the ABS handling it?

[2008g8gt]

What was ball park cost? Less than baer kit?

[G8V8]

How is the ABS handling it?

Because they are so fresh I have not pushed them to the limits yet but some initial tests seem to work just like before. This is expected because the GT and GXP use the same brake control module.


What was ball park cost? Less than baer kit?
Less than Baer. I can't tell you a final kit price because mine was the prototype to check fit and completeness before Greg offers it officially. Expect final pricing from Greg early this week.

[wreckwriter]

Really nice write-up! Thanks for doing it.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Very nice write-up Ed. I will call GM on Tuesday and get the exact part number for the proper bolts.

I will have a solid price on Tueday for the kit, and it will be less than $1,000 for the base kit and then you will be able to add options like the SS brake lines and speed bleeders. I am not sure on that pricing yet.

[steined]

Nice work guys! Thanks for the effort!

If someone just wanted the calipers and the rotors, is that feasible or do you need all the stuff like the OP bought?

Very nice brakes by the way, amazing.

[learjet60]

Great writeup! They look awesome, I'm jealous!

[G8V8]

You need the caliper, rotors, pads, pins/clips, bolts and Dot 4 fluid. The SS lines are made for a GT and worked fine so I imagine the stock rubber lines would fit too.

Oh, yes, YOU NEED WHEELS THAT WILL ACCEPT THE WIDTH OF THE CALIPERS.

Thanks everyone. I've been driving it and the brakes feel better. It feels less soft with better initial bite.

[FIG]

If you wanted to test fit a GT wheel I could probably meet up sometime.

[G8V8]

Let's see if Greg has test fit a GT wheel on a GXP at his dealership. If he has not, this might be a good idea to expand our knowledge base.

[G8V8]

I added 2 ***EDITS*** to the 2nd page of the write-up. I had some Bleeder problems today.

[dklau33]

I remember reading that Greg tried the stock GT 18's and they did not fit. They needed like another 1/4" of clearance.


It's OK, It's OK - Thanks Ed.

The stock 18's still don't fit. It was much closer but you would need to run about a 1/4" wheel spacer to get them to clear.

Also the stock bolts didn't want to thread into the Brembo caliper and GM only lists one set of bolts. So I will check into that a little bit more also.

[BluYa76]

Well as soon as we find out whether the stock 19's fit and if they do I'm down for a kit!

[sweetair]

Looks like a great kit. The question is will the GT 19x8 rime fit the calipers? Does this kit convert over. Meaning the new caliper needs to be bolted in a different location than the stock caliper, to fit a 14" rotor, is there a bracket for this in the kit?

Again, looks great.

[G8V8]

I have no first hand knowledge if the 19 x 8 Sport Package wheels will fit. I think Greg was going to try one of those wheels on a GXP to see.

No braclet. Brembo bolts directly to the hub. Everything fits.

[p71]

there has been considerable talk on the other forum about ho he stock 19s will not fit the calipers hit the inside of the spokes because they are too thick. You have to run about a 1/2 inch sacer to get them to clear... I am waiting for my aftermarket rim to come in to see i they will fit before i order this kit.

[G8V8]

I think that is wise.

[p71]

thank you oh wheeled one...

[G8V8]

According to the Brake Kit web page at Pace Performance, the ONLY OEM G8 wheels that will accept the GXP front brakes are the GXP wheels. The 18" V6 and GT and 19" Sport Package wheels will not fit.

[sweetair]

[NastyG8]

man they look great

[KenV]

This is a big bummer. This mod just more than doubled in cost!

+1 I grabbed my first streetbike AND my wife's first dirtbike for what this mod would cost due to the wheels/tires needed. It doesn't take away from the mod, just puts it out of my range, especially for a daily driver. I'm glad it's simple to do for those that do it though, as it looks much more straightforward than some brake upgrades I've performed on other cars. Makes for good car porn, heh.

[95_9C1]

The banjo gets torqued to 26 ft-pounds

I'm ready to put in a set of Russell's, can i get a confirmation that the 26
ft-pounds applies to both the front Brembos and the rear calipers?

TIA

[G8V8]

I used it for both front and rear when i put my SS lines on.

[95_9C1]

Thank you, sir

:cheers:

[G8V8]

My pleasure.

[cwhite]

Because they are so fresh I have not pushed them to the limits yet but some initial tests seem to work just like before. This is expected because the GT and GXP use the same brake control module.

I haven't personally looked at both, but I would be surprised if the cals are the same between a GT and a GXP. The actual hardware may be the same, but oftentimes chassis control software is 'variant coded', meaning the vehicle sends info to the brake controller (or it's flashed at end-of-line) so it's able to choose the correct parameter set to use.

It's a feedback system so I wouldn't be terribly concerned, but the system may not feel as refined as it should (during an ABS stop, oversteer ESC hit, etc....).

I can get specifics, if people care to know.

[2008g8gt]

How Would these compare to baer? These are 4 piston the baer is 6 right?

[Grey Ghost in NOVA]

If you want to go a cheaper route, you can put the Camaro Brembo's on (Damm Chevrolet wont wipe off) and all you need to do is drill the steering knuckle out to 9/16 inch from 1/2 inch.(they were $325 shipped from Henesy Performance). (A dud)

[2008g8gt]

$325? What all did that include? Those are 4 piston?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Grey Ghost in NOVA]

Yes, the kit from Henesy Perfomance was a take off from a customers 2010 Camaro and came with rotors, brake pads, 4 piston calipers and the rubber brake lines - everything you need in a kit! I had to drill the steering knuckle from 1/2" to 9/16" - no big deal, but it may be for some.

[2008g8gt]

If you drill, does this mean in the future if you want something else your sol?

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

You could make a sleeve to go over the 1/2" bolt, but it would have a 1/32" thick wall so that would be a little tricky to make.

[thebeast]

which one of the calipers has larger pistons? or aree they the same size 4 piston caliper. camaro vs. gxp. im doiung this mod this summer. either way i will need spacers and longer studs.
plus ill be powdercoating them red either way i go

[crazygreek89]

I received my GXP Brembo kit from SLP two days ago. I am doing the install today. I am pleased with the contents and for used a kit with 100 miles on them, I guess I shouldn't expect anything more. The calipers have some rock chips on the sides which won't be too noticeable. They're dirty too which I thought they would have cleaned, but oh well.

I have to go and buy some DOT 4 brake fluid, some brake cleaner and some speed bleeders. I will post some pics later today.

[thebeast]

nice. i just finished my camaro swap on the rear. front swap will be done next week or so

[crazygreek89]

Judging by this write-up, I'm assuming this install is pretty straight forward? I don't have to reprogram the ABS or remove any sensors, right?

I was watching those calipers on eBay. I noticed one of the calipers looked like it had some chips, but the pictures weren't really that closeup to tell.

From what I understand, as long as you keep the master cylinder full of fluid, you will not affect the ABS. If you do however, then it requires a TECHII to reset the ABS. But, no, I don't believe you have to remove any sensors, just unhook the brake line and swap it over to the new caliper since it sounds like you aren't going with braided stainless steel lines.

[thebeast]

yep. its a simple swap.

One of the calipers is pretty mint, 1 chip which isn't really noticeable. The other caliper has a ton of chips with paint peeling on a few of them. It didn't look too bad in the pictures, but in person it's bad. Overall, it was a steal for the price. I am not sure if rock chips are a characteristic of calipers, but if they continue to get worse over time I may have them repainted or maybe just buy new ones. I'm hoping it won't get to that.

I will install these tomorrow morning and I will try to snap some photos. Hopefully they won't look to bad once they're mounted and I know from a distance you won't be able to tell.

Ok, cool. Sounds simple enough. I went to Advance Auto today and picked up some Brake Cleaner and Valvoline DOT3 & DOT4 synthetic brake fluid. I couldn't find any DOT4 brake fluid, it was either DOT3 or the one that combined them. It says its compatible with both DOT3 and 4 and all types of ABS systems so I'm guessing I should be good.

This will be my first brake install so I'm probably overreacting.

[crazygreek89]

I installed the GXP Front Brembo Kit today. Install went very smoothly and the bleeding process without the speed bleeders was rather simple. The only issue I had was that caliper bolts, although are the same part number, did not seem to bolt up with ease. Although it felt like the bolts were cross-threading, they weren't. Other than that, the install was very easy and I'm not much of a gearhead. I think anyone with basic tools and a garage or open area can do this with relative ease. I will post some pictures tomorrow as I was too excited today.

Although the calipers had some rock chips in them, they're not that noticeable when the wheel is actually on, but some touch-up paint should do the trick. I really love the look of these Bremboswith the GXP wheel. I may consider a rear Brembo upgrade in the future.

[thebeast]

glad it worked for you. i went with the camaro brembos because of the cost difference, but pretty much the same caliper. improvement should be noticable

[crazygreek89]

I was thinking about adding rear Brembos in the future, but don't the Camaro ones say Chevrolet? Any pics of yours? When I go out to the garage later today I will snap some pics.

[thebeast]

they do say chevrolet and brembo on the side. but i powdercoated mine red, so it doesnt matter.

[thebeast]

hows your brake dust. these things are horrible

[crazygreek89]

hows your brake dust. these things are horrible

So are mine. I think when I replace the pads I will go with the Hawk low-dust ones to see if there is a difference.

Good job. They look great.

[thebeast]

i just installed the front brakes today and what a pain in the ass. the hub bearing assembly had to be removed and one side grinded down almost a 1/4 inch inorder for the studs to come out. otherwise, its impossible to get the studs out. also the spacer i had custom ordered was made too small around the hub. we forced it on, but will have to be broken off and remade next time when i need to take off the rotors.
install was about 4+ hrs.
they work great. pics will be up tomorrow when i give the car a good cleaning.
if you guys think i should, i may make a how to about installing these on stock rims like i have

[DRCUSTOMPARTS]

You should have removed a little material with a dremel and a small drum sander from inside the spacers. If you were able to force them on there wouldn't have been much material to remove, maybe just a few thousands of an inch.

[thebeast]

the spacer we just forced on. we could have took off some material, but we just used a bfh and a 2x4. ill hopefully be able to take them off when i need to replace rotors in the future and fix then then. the head of the studs hit the hub bearings. that was a pain. we grinded on that for a while till we were able to get the studs to clear.

[thebeast]

[Aussie SS V8]

Hi all new to the site and have been reading up about these brembo's and the Camaro 2010 brembo conversions. Brembo's in Australia are quite expensive so was looking at getting some from the US. Can anyone quote me some figures to see how it stacks up with our prices in OZ. The other reason is I want something a bit different to whats around in Australia.

On a side issue if you guy's need any parts from Australia I would be only to happy to help out, I see some HSV wheels and badges on your site they look way cool on your G8's.

Thanks Aussie SS V8 :thumbsup:

[dklau33]

If you go on ebay and search for "camaro brembo" you will find SLP Parts selling take off front Brembos for $350 US. Problem is shipping would be quite expensive for you. You can also get take off Camaro Brembos from Hennessy Performance for $350 for a front set but you would have to give them a call.

[Aussie SS V8]

Hi guys, can anyone let me know some prices on the fronts and rears calipers only.

Thanks

calipers only i wont have a clue. but i can contact hennessey performance and get back to you

[dklau33]

There's a set of front and rear camaro calipers only on ebay that's going for like $800 or Best Offer.

[thebeast]

thats alot for just calipers, considering i paid 700 shipped for everything

Man, is it certain that no way these will fit the 18" stock G8 GT wheels rims?

thats alot for just calipers, considering i paid 700 shipped for everything

Exactly, hence why they probably used the Best Offer feature since no one in their right mind would pay that much for used calipers. Hell, even brand new Camaro Brembo calipers don't cost that much I think.

Will not fit as the calipers will contact the spokes. I think it will work if you get wheel spacers and longer studs though.

calipers only i wont have a clue. but i can contact hennessey performance and get back to you


Thanks for the offer thebeast, I will either go a set of the Camaros or the local stuff in Australia.

The freight is a killer some one quoted me $500 US can't be right and I need to find a better option.

:(

I doubt shipping to Aussie land I that much that has to be a miss quote. The might be charging you for shipping and handling.

I hear you Tim may not be a cheap way to go after all.... But I do love those Chev Camaro brembos.
