These are the same as the V6 Lucerne calipers. It is a bolt on for all Auroras '98 and up, including 2G. For '97 Auroras you have to slightly bend the backing plate, no big deal. And if you have a late '96 with aluminum lower A arms they will bolt on like a '97. If you purchase these calipers you will just need pads and rotors to complete the setup. To me they appear to have the bracket included, I would ask the seller just to make sure.

It has been proven that these calipers do not make you stop faster. But my experience is that you have less rotor warping.

There is 1 set on ebay right now.

Don't be afraid to upgrade! If you can put brake pads on a car, you can do this. These would be great for a 2nd Gen V6 as well.

I hear you bro! I have an extra set in my garage but I am waiting until I can afford a good set of rotors to install them. I think a set of drilled rotors + the dual piston upgrade would be a good combo.

I am not kidding, I can slam on the brakes in my Autobahn going over a 100 and it doesn't warp the rotors or anything. I do it over and over again, and they don't let me down. I have a Lucerne caliper on one side of it and a Impala caliper on the other. I even took my 2 friends for a little 115 smile an hour cruise, my 1 friend is 6'1" 250 pounds my other friend is 6'3" 350 pounds and I weigh 250. Even with that load it still performed quite well. But it did take me a little longer to accelerate.

Agreed. I've got the dual piston STS brakes up front, drilled rotors plus ceramics front and back. High speed stops are smooth, quick, without any muss or fuss. So far, not a hint of any warping.

Hi Centennialman,

I've got to get my brakes done in the next few weeks (front and rear, discs and pads), and I'd love to hear more about your set-up. Not sure if I should go for an upgrade, or take advantage of my neighbour's ability to get AC Delco parts at cost.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rocinante

Speed Neon

Remember the dual piston w-body setups of the early 90's. Well GM has revived them and they are a direct bolt on for 98-99 classics, and 95-97 classics with 98-99 knuckles.
And to boot they come in two flavors, "stop now" and "the hand of god". Now the v6 lucrene came with 11.75 inch disc with dual piston calipers while the v8 lucrenes and dts came equipped with 12+ inch versions of the same. If you opt for the larger 12 inch brakes you will need 17 inch or better wheels.

But with either you will get excellent initial bite and fade resistance. This is an entirely bolt on and bleed upgrade, with no change in brake bias. I drive this upgrade everyday.

Bolt on Front Brake Upgrade with 17" wheels or bigger. Requires Caliper, Bracket, Rotors, Dust Shield, or Dust Shield Modification.
