      glad i wasn't the only one. but now that there's an explanation, it makes a little more sense. i know that the SS likes to follow cracks in the highway that have been tarred. still not used to it after almost a year...

              You need to drill the front knuckle to accomodate the larger 14mm bolt for the caliper. stock bolt is 12mm.
              Rear brembos require a custom braket needed to relocate the caliper in higher position.

                Who'd you get to build you the bracket or you do it yourself?

                  bracket is only necessary for thr rear conversion. It can be bought from greg at wasslow.com.
                  also these brakes do not cler factory rims, so aftermarket rims that fit a gxp will clear
