| Interesting. I'm thinking it will be okay. I don't see the W-body cars having any problems yet.
I thought the Riviera used DOT 3 fluid. Anyone using DOT 4? Can they mix? I am hoping to gravity flush the system when I hook up the calipers.

| DOT4 is fine to mix with DOT3. It's a no-brainer upgrade for anyone that likes good braking under race-like or high-load conditions. The main difference is that it has a significantly higher temp rating and will prevent brake fading. Some manufactures require it for their ABS cars as a precaution. I could be mistaken but I believe that DOT4 is, by definition, a sythetic grade fluid also, while DOT3 is usually not. You can buy synthetic DOT3 though.
Aaron, I'd take a quick glance at your service manual about bleeding the brakes in this car to make sure there isn't anything special to it, particularly with the ABS system.

| i've gravity bled mine several times without any problems. the only issue i had was once i wasnt watching the MC resov closely, and the level dropped below the sensor causing it to ding and tell me the level was low even after i filled it. it ended up being a bubble on the sensor, and tapping on the resov took care of it. i think i used DOT3 synthetic the last time.
are there any negative sides to using SS lines? i've heard you have to change them out more frequently than with stock lines, but i cant remember why. _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

| Ok, so Friday evening I finished assembling the new calipers. Greased the slide pins, threaded the bleeder valves, and attached the clips and pads. Here is everything ready to go: Here is an EBC GD Series rotor. It was nice of them to label L & R: Picked up some DOT 4 fluid and gravity bled the driver-side line, making sure to keep the reservoir full. This required refilling about every 10 minutes. I did not push the pedal. Meantime, I fitted the new rotor and caliper, using the McMaster spacers: Note from Admin: DO NOT USE THE BUSHING SPACER SLEEVES AS SHOWN IN THE CLUBGP WRITE-UP. THESE HAVE SHOWN TO WEAR AND CAUSE LOOSENING OF THE CALIPER. SOLUTION - HAVE YOUR F-BODY BRACKETS DRILLED AND TAPPED TO ACCEPT THE OEM BUICK CALIPER BOLTS.Used a vacuum pump to bleed air and old fluid out of the caliper, then gravity bled the passenger side, mounted the rotor/caliper, and repeated with vacuum pump. Here's the passenger side turned max left to check SS hoses: Here's the driver side: I tried to rotate the rotors by hand - this was very tough. Put the wheels back on, and drove out to bed-in the pads. Holy hell were these things loud! I thought I did something wrong... squealing and grinding, took several miles before they stopped making noise. Then I followed Hawk's bedding procedures, and things quieted down. I assume the calipers were sticking a bit, too - from being out of service for awhile. Once everything got hot and the pads bedded in, they started working right. These brakes will stop the car quick. Enough that you can clear stuff off the back seat, and some of it will land up front. I do feel much safer driving the Riv with these brakes. Best part is, during normal driving, they feel a lot like the old stockers. Pedal feel is about the same. But try for a panic stop; you will hear some rubber squeal right before ABS kicks in. And you will slow in a hurry. After finishing the bed-in at 12 am, I parked her overnight and then took a 250-mile round trip to Cleveland the following morning - only 10 hours after the installation. It went very well. I can say these EBC slotted rotors are the loudest rotors I've ever heard. But they're loud in a nice way. It's a kind of high pitched fluttering, kind of like scissors cutting very fast. It's something I would expect to hear on a race car, and it sounds refined. Must be the slots interacting with the pads? Here's a pic of the new set-up (after 250 miles): More pics in my showroom thread: https://rivperformance.editboard.com/showroom-f3/my-1998-sc-rivera-t2-15.htm#34383_________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^

| Yes, very sharp! Looks good Aaron! Glad she stops well!
(I still have to argue that I never had a problem making loose crap hit me in the back of the head with the stock brakes)
(although I did get into a ummm highway situation this weekend that may have warped my rotors, which may not have happened had they been drilled/slotted) | |

| Thanks for the compliments, guys.
I have no real complaints about the stock fronts other than they develop judder after 25-30K miles, or if abused, even sooner. Drilled rotors did not help in my case. The 2-pistons just feel more solid, even if they don't stop the car that much faster (but I think they do).
What I like about these F-Body brakes, I feel like I could do a 100-10 mph slow without any vibration, maybe a couple times. Haven't tried that yet, but have done 80-20 mph. No fade. And time will tell how long the EBC rotors will last. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

| Nice calipers, reminds me of what my dad did to our Volvo 850. He painted the stock calipers that same bright yellow and it looked pretty good. Not to go off topic in your thread but it had rims like this: - Spoiler:
If you can imagine this car in a teal green with dark tinted windows and the bright yellow calipers that was our old 850. Very sharp car for a '93!
I'm kinda surprised you can see them on the Riv, I thought with the type of rims we had you couldn't see it. Next time I change the brakes I'm gonna paint the calipers. Do they only offer caliper paint in yellow and red? I haven't seen it in any other color. | |

| I was hoping that it might firm up the pedal feel a bit. I honestly do not like the feel of the brakes in this car. I feel like I have to kill a cat under the pedal to stop the car in everyday driving. Most of the roads around my house are 55mph roads so I still think it might be more in my head.
I really gotta get my other caliper ordered and do this mod. I've gotten a lot of other more urgent matters slammed onto my plate since I started it.
Looking good though, Aaron! | |

| Black, Blue, Orange, Green, Silver, White, are also available.
FYI, I would not have painted my calipers if not for the upgrade. For me it's about keeping them clean more than showing off. I have no intention to paint the rears unless I find the need to upgrade (I won't). _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^

Maybe what I mean by it feeling "solid" is the added firmness from the SS lines. Pedal travel is about the same though, and pressure is similar. I really can't tell what part is doing what, or why I like these better, but I would not change back. I do like having to press hard to brake. I think it gives better feel. Some cars that have ultra sensitive brake pedals feel artificial to me. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

| 96's have 11" rotors, so the upgrade should be even more dramatic for us. i do wish our cars had more "light pressure" response, but i have no problem stopping the car if i go hard on the brakes, even with stock 96 rotors/pads. every one of my friends who rides in my car says i stop hard, maybe i do, or maybe i'm trying to get more out of our stock systems than there is to offer. this upgrade is defiantly on my list! i'm sticking with the red calipers though on a side note, one of the worst pedal feels has to be in the chevy/gmc suburbans. absolutely horrible. _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

I'll second that. They feel like they despirately need to be bled and you can actually put your foot down on the brake and hit the floorboard if you want. I did this while it was in park. I think part of the blame has to go to the adjustable pedals most of those models have. | |

| WARNING: check SS brake hose clearance AFTER installing tires. I neglected to do this, and noticed a slight rubbing sound when turning the wheel for parking and slow cornering. Not much wear, but it's evident the tire has made some contact with the brake hose.
I think I can turn the nut on the end of the hoses to "aim" them away from the wheel. Will try to do this tomorrow. Until then, guess I'll not turn the car! _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^
