cadillac ats brembo on a 2g.

[rival]

So I am going to be getting hooked up with a set of brand new brembo brakes from a cadillac ats.... I am curious as to weather there is any way I can make them work on a 2g. The rotors are 17" and the caliper is a 4 piston so I will need to run 19" rims I am guessing. The brakes are free so if I can make them work that would be awesome! anyone have any suggestions aside from just buying the correct ones?

I just did a google search for Cadillac ATS wheel size and they come with 17x8 or 18x8 wheels, I assume the ones that get the upgraded Brembos get the 18x8 size wheels. I would be most concerned with getting a caliper brackets and rotors that will work vs wheel clearance.

well getting the rotor and calipers is not a problem, I will have to make a bracket for them to bolt up. just curious what else I will need to address if I go this route.

Wow 17" rotors?!
and you probably gonna need custom brake lines.

Wisemen correct me if I'm wrong because I've only read about it and not experienced it first hand.

I believe larger brakes with a stock brake mater cylinder will not feel crisp whereas upgrading to a better/bigger master cylinder on stock brakes will make the brakes bite too much.

John gets into this on post #7 of this upgrade thread:

I plan on running an upgraded master cylinder to go along with the upgraded lines and caliper, its just a track car now so i think i will play with it a bit and try to make it work, and if not maybe i will sell them and use the money toward the correct set.

According to C&D, it has 12.6" rotors.
