Well, It has begun. This started as a weird idea but now has turned into another school project, so it will be happening....as long as it works

Cadillac ATS BREMBO calipers will be getting adapted to the front. $118 Each from Tasca

Pistons are 4x42mm, so a larger master cylinder might be required.

S60R rotors should work as is, but may need 1mm turned off of each side. The S60R rears might also be an option. Once I have the calipers in hand I can verify.

More info as I progress.:)
 
Google says.

ATS with a curb weight as low as 3,400 pounds ... 60-0 mph of 129 feet

When equipped with Brembo brakes, the Cadillac ATS has an estimated stopping distance from 60-0 mph of 129 feet

Anyone have 240 braking performance spec?

If it were 150 feet, it would be right on the 150 line ;) I'd guess 156-158 or so, given the diagram.

Nonetheless, kudos for the find.
 
stock 60-0 numbers for most of these cars doesn't really make sense....

who here runs the original wheels / tires? Factory spring rates? Factory dampening rates?
 
Probably quite a bit lower on a 240 as well. Cadillac runs low dust ceramic pads and weighs 500 lbs more.

I plan to test my brake performance this week.

Sure, but some sort of baseline or metric would certainly make this a bit more objective.

OP - do us all a favor and try to provide before/after stopping distances.
