This company. I believe their 4-piston calipers are from Brembo. You'll definitely want to call or email them as their website isn't that useful. They can fit you up with just about anything from what I've heard. www.movit.de/rahmen/cadillac.htmI think some brembos would be nice on the 'vette also, though I'd rather get some power adders first.  |

wow, see I love the very clean red brake calipers. they look like Brembo. i know they sell colored calipers or you could DIY but they just dont look the same.

If you want the look of Brembos on the cheap, why not try this?   |

I would think those covers would melt from the heat of the calipers. If nothing else they would help keep the heat trapped in and degrade braking performance further.

Its a shame they only make the Sport brake systems for the 97-2003 auroras. damnit man. they are only like $300 for a front set and $350 for a rear set of slotted rotors. The 95-96 isnt listed, and they already told me they wont make them. Prolly cause they are smaller.

Steven, where'd you find the Sport system for the 97 aurora? It lists NO oldsmobile cars..
I'd purchase one less than $2500 if they made a kit for our cars.

Is it very hard to replace the whole brake system all around on your 95-96, with the 97+ brakes?

They are expensive brakes. Did you contact Movit about a price?
Steven, what's this "sport brake" thing you are talking about?

made a mistake, they are $250, not $350. I had a different vehicle pulled up for the 350 ones. www.buybrakes.com/store/BR47181I wish they had them for 95 and 96, really let me down on that one cause i wouldve bought them. One thing that really really bites with the 1995 brakes is the brake fade..its just terrible. Try doing a couple of repeated hard stops....you will experience a lot of fade with basic rotors. Im not sure if it will do it with slotted thats why i wanted to find out. Im gonna go for the Raceshopper.com Diamond Slotted rears though, i shoudlve done that for the front. oops. |

Drilled or Slotted?Steven, that site, only has brembo front rotors.. no rear. So am I supposed to only buy the fronts?lol  That makes no sense... On this site, the 97 Aurora, uses the same brakes as the Intrigue, and they have rear rotors available. www.buybrakes.com/brembo/sport-apps-Oldsmobile.htmlScroll down half way or so, and the 97 Aurora, and Intrigue have the same fronts, and I would assume the same back rotors? Still wish there were something I could do about the calipers.. can they be OEM replaced? Mine are SO rusty/dirty and my rims are SO clean... -Nick
