Re: Brake Guru 4 Piston Brembos Used in Other Vehicles

Zach, as pointed out there are a few cars.

Mustang
Camaro
CTS-V
G8
Regal GS
Evo
STI
Genesis
every Porsche
many Mercedes

I will say, the Camaro/CTS-V are easily the cheapest I have seen, new or used.

Radial mount is actually a huge advantage as it makes mounting a lot more flexible.

Add 2014 Corvette Stingray to the list.
I wonder if the mounting hole have remained in the same location as they did with the C5 & C6.

would you be able to come up with bracket for radial mounted brake for third gen or shall i say is it possibal ?

ive found multiple brembo brake calipers mostly radial mounted porsche setups for $150-180 for pair which i think is a steal piled up in a warehouse so i want to jump on the deal still

It should be pretty easy. Just a custom job. And unless you have the tech sheet on the caliper, I would need the caliper to take measurements. Send me a pm about the calipers, I'd be curious what all you found.

Sounds like a really good deal.

GM has been really good about keeping the Vette caliper mounting consistent. It will be interesting to see.

i understand that and GM is consistent with that it makes since and its less expensive to carry over parts then new development

i was mainly getting at what cars have same casting as cts-v or camaro ss it would be intresting to see what other cars other than GM you would beable to get brembos from other than ctsv or camaro ss

Re: Brake Guru 4 Piston Brembos Used in Other Vehicles

know this is old but anyone that sees this and can comment on it I am finding the new ats brembo brakes pretty cheap as there are a lot out there used now in salvage yards. So many got premium brakes on them 2013 and up. Part number is different then camaro ss and the early ctsv so trying to come up with measurements of that caliper since so many brackets out there already. I am going to pull my own 2013 ats wheels today and find out the dimentions so just need something to compare to on it.
