It'* Done...Stainless Braided Brakelines for the 00+ Crowd
I am in the process of working with a vendor to determine if they can make a stainless braided brake line kit for 00+ SEs, SSEis, and GXPs. In addition, I've got a set of front f-body/dual piston calipers that I will be test fitting on my Bonne.
It appears that in order to run the f-body calipers, we'll need a brakeline that is just about 1.5" longer over the stock size. (This is the similiar setup with the GTPs. I upgraded my GTP a couple years ago and love it.)
I will be sending a set of stock lines to the vendor this week for measurements, etc. In the meantime, I'd like to see if there is enough interest to get a group buy/introduction pricing going. In addition, I will see if they will offer a F-Body caliper kit upgrade with required hardware, etc.
Please vote if you are interested.
Thanks,
Tom
Regarding pricing, I do not have any idea of price as of yet. I do know that a set of lines for the GTP was about $120 bucks. The Bonneville should be simliar, but the fronts have a bracket that attaches the brake line to the strut. I'm assuming there will be some additional cost to make the bracket.

As far as a 13" rotor upgrade, I'm not sure. Are there any other H-Bodies that have a 13" rotor option? Cadillac maybe?

looking thru Carpart, it seems that the GXP brakes (12.7"), cross with some of the New Caddillac'* (DTS)

Also, I believe, on evidence of laying a ruler across them before putting them on the car, the PA also uses a 12.7" brake rotor.
I could double check this at a dealer parts counter, if anyone wants.
