Bigbadbronx72 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Ok I have a 99 Lumina 9C3 and it's brake time. What other W body rotors will swap right onto my car? Reason why I'm asking is it will allow me to find out if I can take advantage of another cars rotor upgrade package. Car has the 9c3 brake package (4wheel disc). Quote
rich_e777 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Give an Autozone(or other autoparts store) a call and see if the part numbers for the 9c3 and standard 3.8 Lumina/MonteCarlo brake rotors cross reference. I can check for you tomorrow as I don't have a lot of knowledge about that package but I am curious about it. Quote

What I'm trying to find is if any of the Grand Prix, Buick Regal or any other W body-based car fits it this way if it has performance brake package available for them or just slotted and drilled rotors that are cheaper than mine I can score of those. The 9c3 uses the Lumina LTZ and MC Z34 rorors on the Chevy side of the family. Quote

l67ss Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 What leads you to think rotors from a civilian car wont fit? Quote

The 9c3 uses the Lumina LTZ and MC Z34 rorors on the Chevy side of the family. The civillian car rotor are smaller by a few millimeters in diameter. And not as thick. I'm trying to upgrade from the jl8 rotors which are semi beefy already, I don't want to go even smaller lol. Quote
l67ss Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Umm..all 96-99 monte/lumina/cutlass use the same front rotors regardless of trim....z34, ltz, 9c3 etc. And the rears on a 9c3 are the same as 96-99 z34 and 98-99 ltz. The only real upgrade for your car is on the rear.....use spindles, rotors, calipers and caliper brackers, and backing plates from a gen 2 w body ie 97+ gp and regal, 00+ monte/impala, intrigue. Then use rubber hoses for a 90 lumina two door Quote
