Boom's Boosted Bullitt

Got my new filter in. They had a 9" and 12" tall option. I got the 9" since it was in stock. I don't forsee needing the larger one realistically. I like that not having the maf in fender well moves the filter up a good bit so it's not as close to the ground.

Car fired right up and idled smooth. I drove it home, was raining quite a bit so I didn't romp on it at all. Maybe in the morning ill get on it a bit more to see how it runs.

Car has been running smoothly. Decoded to move on with installing the next parts. I know some of you probably won't like it.

My calipers came back from the powdercoating shop. Here's a shot getting ready to reassemble them.

This was my first time rebuilding calipers, so I was a bit nervous. Seemed to go back together without issue.

I decided to install them today. I am reusing the stock 13" rotor, I have new pads and hardware of course.

There's not much to the install. Since I had already replaced the bushings, these literally just bolt right onto the car. Even uses the same banjo bolt. Stock brake hoses fit and everything. I grabbed some new copper washers and mounted everything up.

The wheels are close in spots, but I had already verified they'd fit.

The toughest part for me was bleeding everything. I'm not good at using those lil vacuum pumps. I prefer to use the old two person pump pump hold method.

Car has a bit more pedal travel now but does stop firmer. I'll drive around some more to hopefully bed in the new pads to the old rotors.

Nice, it's looking good. Is there someone that sells a kit to adapt the CVS brembo calipers to the sn95 spindle?

Thanks!

I don't think so. I believe the CTS caliper has a solid design with the holes all cast into the caliper itself.

The ATS and XTS calipers have a bushing that you can press out and then press in one designed for the sn95 caliper. Thays what i did with this setup here.

The ATS uses the stock 13" Cobra rotors. The XTS is bigger and runs the 14" GT500 rotors.

Here's the place I got the bushings amd spacer from. They make a kit to allow a bigger rear rotor too.
