so, if the set I ordered didn't bring the bolts, then I would need to get gxp specific ones?

Let me know where and how much for the bolts for the brackets, I was able to find a complete set of GXP calipers with brackets, but no bracket bolts though.

I have a questions about this upgrade, has anyone tried to move the stock size rotors to the back and just purchase the need front rotors? I have Power slots rotors on the front now. Just a thought.

I got my calipers & no braket bolts. #-o

so now I need to get them too. I will go to the dealer & see If they have them.
if anyone has a set let me know. & by the way, do I need just the front ones or are the rear ones diffrent too?

You don't need the bolts, though. Just the calipers and brackets.

Correct the only hardware difference is the front caliper bracket bolts

Thanks guys-

I am in search of the bracket bolts for just the front. Do you think napa would carry these?

If we can get the GM part number, we may be able to order then from gmpartsdirect.
