But that is where the problems comes in after that. The wiring is different between the car and the 2 different types of electronic brake mechanism of the LT & SS. Without some sort of schematic to see what the difference is to splice or creating a conversion module to adapt the LT to the SS electronic brake mechanism. The SS is a bit more complex because it has to monitor cable tensions, where the LT is connected right to the caliper.
Only other option i have come up with and probably doing is to put in a mechanical brake foot level. Lokar makes under the dash foot or hand lever kit for parking brakes. Have to adapt it, but would be a way to still have parking brakes.
for the detailed info
I guess I'll just stick to my stock calipers and just paint them RED
