Alright... fishing for opinions...

We've all seen Dave's new CTS V upgrade which looks out of this world, but what about the idea of using G8 bits on our cars??

Been fishing arround the net and cant seem to find any info on this topic, so lets start something here!!

Have a set of F Bodies kicking arround and thought about doing the usual 12" brake up grade, but then I thought, no IM craving somethng different... C5 Corvette maybe or maybe somethng else...

Looked into the Brembo/2010 Camaro option... but the word Brembo adds to the price HUGE. LOL

So what about our lonely Holden friend???

What would it entail? F Body Brackets, G8 Brackets? Anyone car to chime in here? Size of rotors?

Is this do-able??

A couple sets of PBR calipers on ebay right now for under a hundred bucks... this maybe the current performance braking bargan we've all been looking for... ??? Or should I/we stick to the F-Body thing or maybe C5 Vette?

Opinions??

Specifically this part:

In lieu of CTS-V calipers, you can use G8 GXP calipers or '10 Camaro SS calipers, they all are pretty much identical to each other.

I don't think the GTO's fit, since its not really a GM made vehicle, just the engine. So I'm sure the spindle is different.

Yes... That would make sense. G8 was same platform as cts/camaro so is part of the corporate family while the monaro is pure Holden.
