Default we all know about the LS 4pot in the front but about the 2pots in the rears

tonight i was looking around and seen some 2pot calipers for 45.00 a caliper so i got to thinking i will these things bolt up AND IF SO WHAT KINDA GAIN WOULD I HAVE right now i am running ls4 in the front with slotted and drilled rotors for free so i would like to see what kinda gain i can get from these





and to anyone that has a problem with my rotors i pick and are going to say wait till those rust, crack or break i have them now in my fronts and rears NO RUSTING OR CRACKING still going strong

More than likely you'll probably have a softer pedal if you retain the current master.

After doing the LS4 up front, pedal feel was a tad softer.
After doing the TT swap in the rear, pedal feel was noticeably softer. I suspect the same from these if you get them to work.

^, only downside to that swap was it wasn't rotor-matched, roughly a third of the rotor surface remains unused.

I never understood why people wouldn't put all the brakes, putting just the fronts is kind of half assed. Also, to eliminate that brake feel, people should use the LS BMC
