Better Brakes On A Budget

[SRG963]

Awesome Greg! I'll be ordering from you soon

Are you able to get the Russell speed bleeders as well? The more I can order from you, the better!

Will the CTS-V calipers fit in the 19" stock rims - non GXP

No, you need spacers with the stock wheels.

I have VMR 710 which have plenty of clearance

Okay. PM coming your way.

Another question. For the number you have listed as caliper bolt (P/N 18041878), has that been verified? I show that as being the wheel stud. I show the caliper to knuckle bolts as being 18060356.

Updated part number, thanks!

Updated part number, thanks!

Make sure it's the right one. Maybe Greg can verify.

Got the lines and bleeders in stock.

Do you know for sure if the 1st Gen CTS-V pads will work with the GXP/Camaro rotors? I know the calipers as the same as the GXP but I'm not so sure about the pads.
Don't want you to order something and have it be incorrect.

Make sure it's the right one. Maybe Greg can verify.

The caliper bolt I would us is 92139080. That is the GXP caliper bolt. - $10.24 ea
or
you can also us 11515778 - $3.00 each if you have your own loc-tite.

EDIT: I should have said:

1st Gen CTS-V uses the same front pads as G8 GXP. Newer Camaro pads are compatible also.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

1st Gen CTS-V uses the same front pads as GXP/Camaro.

Yup I didn't even pay attention to that part number.
I would use a good aftermarket pad or use the 19241441 AC Delco ceramic pad - $51.54

Thanks again for the info!

I believe I've got my list about ready to order Just waiting on my tax return now.

I'm not sure what the difference between the 18041878 caliper bolt and 18060356 caliper bolt is, but this is what I see:

The Front CTS-V caliper assy shows the 89047726 and 89047727 calipers used on the DN69 model, which is the CTS-V:

In this graphic, is shows the caliper bolts as item #28, part number 18041878 for D29 and 18022052 for DW29:
http://www.compnine.com/index.php?u=...06&grouptype=B


In this graphic, is shows the caliper bolts as item #37, part number 18060356 but lists it for the D69 not the DN69. It also shows item #36, part number 18041878, as a stud but lists it for model DN69. This is NOT a stud bolt.

I used the 18041878 bolts, which it lists as a M12x1.75x55. The 18060356 part number, I don't know what the specs on the bolt are, as it doesn't list them.

The 11515778 shows M12x1.75x45
The 92139080 shows M12x1.75x44

The 18041878 has a longer "under head length" of 10mm and 11mm than the 11515778 and 92139080 bolts, respectively. I guess the Cadillac knuckle must be thicker than the G8/GXP knuckle?

Not sure if I need to swap my bolts out or not. I might pull one out and check.
