No problem, just trying to get the best info out. Its always easier after some others pioneered the way. I appreciate all the info others supplied to make it an easy swap for me. Part of the problem is many dealers do not research enough and guys end up with the wrong parts. Thats part of why i did the Brembo's, my dealer, using my VIN, got me the wrong brake pads(Brembo ones) so when I saw I needed new rotors anyway, went ahead and swapped. Big Difference!

Guys, when I bought new SS spec brake hoses from the dealer (GM 25954272) they came with new bolts and washers if you decide to go that route. They were like in the low $20 each range.

So i went ahead and installed the brembos. I just got them in and they went in pretty easy. I bought new screws but to tell you the truth I bet the stock ones would fit they looked like they had plant of bit, but since I bought the new one in they went. The only snag I hit was when i was trying to bleed the brembo calipers. I was using a one man bleeder pump. It worked great on the OEM rears, but not so much for the brembo's. I guess not enough pressure. Once I got a helper to pump the pedal, they purged just fine. The OEM rims fit with no issues. Overall a pretty easy project.
