Obviously, these guys want to sell you a complete system. Still, I know Brembo conversions (CTS-Vs, Vettes, ATS-Vs) on F-Bodies are wildly popular, but I've never seen any quantifiable results that have convinced me to swap calipers. I wish there was an independent test of all of the braking options out there for 4th gens, anyway. I went with more aggressive stock-sized replacement parts when it was time for new stoppers.
Every Brembo braking system, including upgrade kits, is designed for a specific vehicle, on the basis of in-depth analyses of that vehicleās characteristics, including its weight, the arrangement of the elements in the wheel side, the electronics, tires, and the original master cylinder. Brembo braking system upgrades are therefore designed, sized, made, and tested to work perfectly for the vehicle theyāre destined for. As such, even using a completely original Brembo braking system on a different car to the one itās been designed for can be risky.
In the world of automobiles, it's normal to make little modifications ā some more creative than others ā to your vehicle with parts from others, adapting them to different purposes than they were designed for. This goes by various names (retro-fitting, personalization, cannibalizing, tuning, and so forth), but it's a whole different ballpark from what we like to call "half-cooking". At Brembo, we believe that mixing different braking components that are not designed for specific cars, is not an ideal solution, and can in some cases be dangerous. We therefore strongly advise against it. But of course, everyone is free to do what he thinks is best for his car and with the Brembo products he has bought, regardless of where they've come from or the car they were originally designed for.
