Peddle was very firm with almost indistinguishable difference in travel length. If anything felt like I had to get on the brakes a lot less for stop to traffic. Only did one decently brake from a pull so not too much to say there yet. Felt nice to say the least. A little rubbing on the caliper where the brake contacts but can sort that out I'm sure. Can take a video later indicating difference.

That would be great! I got stainless steel lines for the front and rear, hopefully that will help improve brake feel. I’m glad that pedal travel is near stock.

I found a really good deal on eBay after tax was $207 shipped to my house. The link is below I have no affiliation to the seller. came with both calipers loaded with brembo pads. after doing some research I found out the 2019 cadillac ct6 came with the same calipers on RockAuto the pads are selling for $150 plus. I will measure the pads later when I have time to find out if there's a height difference. I have thoroughly looked over the calipers and measured them to see if there's a difference only thing I found was numbers marked on the outside of the caliper that would be different.

I have three calipers one that's an ACDelco I know is legit from GM. And the two that came from eBay that I compared and I would say I'm 99% sure that their legit as well. The sellers from somewhere around Detroit Michigan. I will upload photos at a later time as well. Being that I'm not at my computer at the moment.

If it's real that's a heck of a deal.

Attached to this is pics of the pads that came with my ebay purchase and the measurements I took of the pads. (part # ACDELCO 1711259)
I remember see measurements of ats pads to compare to but was unable to found them. I was a little lazy.

FWIW, I searched the edge number on the pad NAC N607H FF and it shows the manufacturer as Nisshinbo Automotive Manufacturing, Inc.. Brembo's markings all start with BRM. Maybe these are made under license or they are knock offs. I don't know.

I picked up an EBay set too for $200. They look great. Anyone know what the actual paint code is for the grey color? Would be nice to just paint over the Cadillac logo than go get them completely blasted and powder coated.

They look like the same Brembo calipers other than having the attached pad wear sensor and special pads for the sensor.

Also, from what I can see, the standard ATS and XTS non-sensor pads look like they will fit as well.

No code, I just went to my local paint store and they used some new fancy pen they have to determine the color. He said the standard cameras they use to determine color need more surface area than the caddy caliper provides. I think they screwed up and put gloss in because the finish was originally very glossy, I hit it with flat clear and that dulled it quite a bit. When I originally took the caddy caliper in the guy said that just looks like black with out any gloss in it, black with out gloss is more of that smoke gray color.

How are you guys getting the old (stock) bushings out to put in the Lowranger kit? I've resigned myself to thinking I'll need to find someone with a press to get the damn things out!

I went and bought the bolt from Home Depot that fits it and then literally beat it senseless with a heavy copper hammer. And I mean BEAT it lol.
