What parts are needed to add SS calipers to LT
Hi all
I picked up a set of SS front and back Brembo 4 pot calipers that I want to add to my LT. What other parts do I need to complete the conversion? - Rotors - mounting brackets - hubs - dust shields - brake hoses? I’m hoping others have done this and may even have a list of parts needed Thanks for any guidance |

Here is a list of all parts per axle. The list is from a change from SS to ZL1 brakes so I am not 100% sure if it’s all or even to much.
2x Rotor 1x Caliper Left 1x Caliper Right 1x Left Hose 1x Right Hose 2x OIl Outlet bolt 2x Retainer Clip 2x brake Hose Washer 2x Banjo Bolt 2x Other side banjo bolt 4x Caliper Bolt 10x Rotor Bolt 1x Splash shield Left 1x Splash shield Right 2x Shield Bolt 2x Caliper Pin & Spring

Been reading and it seems like the rear calipers are drastically different so will be focusing on just the front.
Are the rotors from the SS standard 4 pot brembos the same size as the optional brembo 4 pot upgrade kit for the LT? |

Not sure on the front rotor difference. TGMPG website shows 2 different part numbers between SS(13590082) & LT(13578074) performance rotors for brembos. Think just Hoses for the front 23318908 right & 23318907 left. Backing plates are the same. The bolts for the calipers mounts look different(based on the heads of the bolts only, not really sure haven't pulled my stock ones to compare), stock LT has a mounting bracket, the SS bolt straight to the knuckle. The hubs are the same between the 2. Last edited by HyperBlue16; 01-01-2018 at 11:05 AM. |

I'm in the same boat
My front RS-2LT came with upgraded 4 piston caliper and I wanted to go for the matching look of rear brembo calipers (red). I asked my local chevy dealer and their simple answer was NO, SS brembo calipers will not work on the rear. Thinking of how to do this |

Most of it is just changing out the rear LT knuckles to a SS knuckles, getting the backing plates with parking brake shoes, cables and rotors, creating a bracket for the cables to mount to the subframe(SS have the brackets welded to it already) and then mounting the electronic brake mechanism. 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. |

I guess I'll just stick to my stock calipers and just paint them RED |

The change is not done as I am collecting first all parts and I think it is cheaper you order the parts in the US as I live in Europe.

I have no idea about specifics differences between the calipers & rotors between the SS/LT brembos, i just know they just have different part numbers. |

LT front bremebo rotors? Not the standard LT rotors.
I know the LT standard brake rotors are smaller then SS brembo rotors, but there are 3 different part numbers for rotors: SS/LT Standard brake rotors(22991317) smaller LT Brembo rotors(13578074) ?? SS Brembo rotors(13590082) larger (Different LT Brembo 84089042,43 Caliper Numbers, then SS Brembo 84089058,59 caliper numbers also) So just don't know the difference between the last 2 rotors of the brembo LT/SS and he was wanting to know the difference between those rotors to know what to buy, but since he has SS brembo calipers, best to get the SS brembo rotors. |

13578074 is the correct PN for the LT Brembos. OP if you figure the rears out, please do a write up.
