I didn't watch the whole video.... But I heard leaky master. REPLACE IMMEDIATELY - no one told me brake fluid was flammable so I didn't understand the importance. Also - Z32 master paired with CTSV brakes feels great. Very sensitive - but a ton of pedal feel.
Yeah dude I had to overnight a z32 master! Feels much better. But my booster is slightly blown out due to not having a check valve inline with it :/ So thats next.
Kalvin, you changed my life. I'm joining the 240 club and it's thanks to you and I couldn't be fuckin happier. You're a godsend, hope to meet you one day and show you what you made me create
I have a 2012 CTS-V, and am doing rotors and pads this weekend, so I stumbled on this vid. The calipers are great, no doubt...just had to chuckle that the REAR calipers from my car are replacing the FRONT calipers on your car as an upgrade. Lot lighter car of course, but u get it.
Damnit Kalvin, you're making me sell my Subie for a 240 🙄 The content is getting better and better bud, and now you're getting more & more exposure! Glad to see the progress of you coming along in UA-cam and the car itself coming along! Can't wait for the years of great content to come!
Paint the wheels gold and leave calipers stock silver and you have some heavy hitters commenting about your brakes man that's awesome cause Adam LZ and Blake's garage are awesome guys like you...
I think dark grey wheels would look better than black. With black you just can't see the wheel much, if you know what I mean. Saying that, the wheels look great as they are so maybe paint matching the calipers to the body would look better.
Enjoy your videos you are going places don't give up dude follow your dreams. You should put a bit of paint on the bare metal bits you grinded to protect them from rusting
holy shit this thing is definitely a sleeper i didnt even notice that motor haha such a beautiful build!!! im going to be doing these brakes on my s14! thanks for the links
Just as he started cutting the caliper I start thinking.. "Man how much would it suck if someone did this and cut the wrong side??? Like.. that would suck"
The color of the wheels is fine... Paint them white if you want to change it up. However I think that the calipers would look MUCH better in black (with a white Brembo sticker ;) )
You should make the calipers purple and keep the wheels silver. It would match the engine bay and would look cool in my opinion. Great video as always!!!
Don't clay bar it unless you machine wax it. You can Marr the paint and you won't be able to get it out hand waxing it. I'm a pro detailer and this is a common mistake !
Love the vids. Have you thought of getting a different rim with a more negative offset to delete the spacers. The rims you have are badass and In my opinion keeping the color they are or gloss black would look great. For the whole race car vibe what is your thoughts on raising the rear coils a turn or 2?
what is that blue mat or carpet called and where did u get it from? would come in so much handy as I like to lay all my tools and parts out when doing work on my dsm
Mind doing a video of when you change your BMC to z32? I'm about to do it but would like to see someone else do it first, lol. I have all the parts sitting in a box so... Also would like a video of the bleeding as well - never done it. I finally hit the bell, so in exchange I am hoping you will give me this content Kalvin!
I think you should keep the rims silver. I love how everything matches in that one area. It looks insanely clean but after all it's your car so I have no say haha
Hey I have a s14 on the ctavbrakeswap site there's a 4 piston and also a 6 piston my question is I have a built streetcar not tract car which makes more sense?
There's more and more cars using this swap, I wonder if that's what's driving up the price for the caliper. When I first looked up the swap it was about $70-90 for the each caliper. The Amazon link says their 150 a side
I've been watching your vids for years keep up the good content ....but I have a question can this go on the s14 as well of course I Kno the bracket would have to be for the s14 but would the other parts go on there?
Why Cadillac breaks and not the z32? I have the z32 and also the master cylinder and works so good but haven't try them with bigger rims. Stick 15 locks the tire and it makes me fish tail sometimes
Not to be a dousche but doing a swap like this right is pretty important and there's a lot of safety things you don't seem too concerned about. Lol. And I still don't understand why you had to switch the bleeder valve to the top. Why didn't you just use the correct side that had it at the top. It shouldn't matter whether the hose attachment is on the bottom or top, I'm pretty sure. Or, cutting out that much material. Or, bolting on your wheels in a start pattern. Not trying to be an ass, but doing a project like this that wasn't designed for the car is pretty important to get right.
Definitely watch this one throughout :) Lot of cool content coming soon guys!! Thanks for watching!!

I need to buy a 180 so you can come comment on my shizz.. Clearly the GTR and RX7's aren't cutting it :D
Yeah dude I had to overnight a z32 master! Feels much better. But my booster is slightly blown out due to not having a check valve inline with it :/ So thats next.
Adam LZ haha ik you learnt that the hard way! One way to learn!
Adam LZ Dude Adam watches your videos that's dope!
When you get a new booster I reccomend wrapping it in that gold foil. I ruined one from heat and learned my lesson!
Kalvin, you changed my life. I'm joining the 240 club and it's thanks to you and I couldn't be fuckin happier. You're a godsend, hope to meet you one day and show you what you made me create
If you could paint the brakes the same colour as the car it would be awesome
Just grabbed my popcorn knowing this video is gonna be so enjoyable! :)
Love my 4 pot ctsv on my s13! Went with z32 master and im in love with my breaking. I also used stoptech street pads all 4 sides
I have a 2012 CTS-V, and am doing rotors and pads this weekend, so I stumbled on this vid. The calipers are great, no doubt...just had to chuckle that the REAR calipers from my car are replacing the FRONT calipers on your car as an upgrade. Lot lighter car of course, but u get it.
I did this mod to my Subaru such a cool cheap mod!

+FPS Gamers 😅😅so sorry haha. Thanks a lot for the kind words man.

What about putting your old front brakes on the rear..?
Good content brother! Like how the 240 is coming out!
Thanks man :)
Looks so good man. I'm feeling a dark bronze wheel to accent the silver brakes
Great content as always kalvin!
I want this exact calliper and rim setup on my R33. ❤
Enjoy your videos you are going places don't give up dude follow your dreams. You should put a bit of paint on the bare metal bits you grinded to protect them from rusting
Thanks man! And aluminum doesn't rust :)
Just thought it would even protect from brake dust eating into them but they look awesome though good job
holy shit this thing is definitely a sleeper i didnt even notice that motor haha such a beautiful build!!! im going to be doing these brakes on my s14! thanks for the links
Just as he started cutting the caliper I start thinking.. "Man how much would it suck if someone did this and cut the wrong side??? Like.. that would suck"
He did cut the wrong caliper then he switched to the other caliper installed
Nice work man. The CTSV conversion is a big upgrade, no doubt. The Z32 upgrade is still half the price. I still don't have ma sticka....
Wheel color white!!!! Would look so good
Gloss Black wheels are so underrated man go for it!!! They'd look amazing
I had q45 and they felt really good!
Yeah my brakes are real spongy after the upgrade and I have to pump it while driving before getting feel. I'm replacing with the z32 master soon
I like how you do this all in your driveway
+Scottys That's all ya need! Can't wait for my own shop though.
you could always run rims with black centers with chrome/or polished lips.
Silver rims are beautiful red colored brakes would be perfect
Maybe do a crazy color on the rpf1’s that you haven’t seen all that much? Maybe a bronze? Or a gun metal grey? Just some personal opinions.
The color of the wheels is fine... Paint them white if you want to change it up. However I think that the calipers would look MUCH better in black (with a white Brembo sticker ;) )
You should make the calipers purple and keep the wheels silver. It would match the engine bay and would look cool in my opinion. Great video as always!!!
Paint the wheels gold or bronze they will look 🔥🔥🔥
I would do gloss black wheels or white wheels would look sweet
next up you should spray them red will look good with the rest of the car and the wheels dark mat gray
I finally got around to watching this video & Voted for you hopefully it will help out keep up all the great work Bro...
I think the wheels should be painted gold bro . That would be FIRE ASF!!!!👌
What size wheels do you need to clear the calipers?
I heard 17’ is the smallest.
Yup 17
A few people seem to be running RPF1 wheels in 17x9 et22 and the 4 piston brembos. They barely clear without a spacer according to one video.
What are your wheel specs? Looks clean man.
Make the wheels a dark grey chrome. The 240 would look so clean
Gloss black would look real clean on your rims
Black rims would definetly make the calipers pop! Thinking of doing this to my s13, thumbs up & subbed man!
Gloss black or a dark gray for the wheels would look clean
Love the look but I'd go with black. Either flat, gloss or chromium black.
Don't clay bar it unless you machine wax it. You can Marr the paint and you won't be able to get it out hand waxing it. I'm a pro detailer and this is a common mistake !
+TB&J Vlogs that's the plan!
Love the vids. Have you thought of getting a different rim with a more negative offset to delete the spacers. The rims you have are badass and In my opinion keeping the color they are or gloss black would look great. For the whole race car vibe what is your thoughts on raising the rear coils a turn or 2?
Cool love the video, can't wait put s13 front caliper knuckle hubs and shock absorber on to my 1986 Nissan laurel c32
Gloss black. Was hoping for that for the longest time man.
what is that blue mat or carpet called and where did u get it from? would come in so much handy as I like to lay all my tools and parts out when doing work on my dsm
Looks official and silver looks nice 👍
Nice car makes me wanna get another s13 I had a few in the past love that sticker were can I get one ?
Looks nice!
I was wondering when u would be uploading next haha keep the videos coming! Good work!
Kalvin, where in Kentucky are you going? You should definitely have a fan meet up so people close to KY can see the car!
+Cats That trip is already done bro. Gotta stay tuned to ig for live action. UA-cam is always behind.
damn, thats what i get for not following. following right not so I dont make that mistake again
Gunmetal grey rims would look sick!
Mind doing a video of when you change your BMC to z32? I'm about to do it but would like to see someone else do it first, lol. I have all the parts sitting in a box so... Also would like a video of the bleeding as well - never done it. I finally hit the bell, so in exchange I am hoping you will give me this content Kalvin!
+Chlorophant Of course! Thanks for the support man!
Dam dude stepping up the game!!!!
Paint the rims that was same color as the engine bay!
edit: Epic video! The brakes look flawless!!
Paint callipers red or paint wheel black
Adam Lz has the same brakes lol. He used a z32 brake booster and master if I remember.
Bruh those look good ha. Honestly I'd keep the enkeis the same color, maybe paint the caliper?
Kalvin I was thinking... color of rims, Flat golden or bronze on the inside center section, but leave lip alone
Make wheels like a really glossy black or satin dark grey.
Gloss black with red lettering would look cool
paint rims engine bay color look dope at night
Gun metal Grey for the wheels, and maybe make calibers color of the car?
Had to upgrade my master on my 280z when i swapped from 2 pot to 4 pot calipers.
Gloss black for the rims it is!
do a full ebay build like turbos and you know including brakes tires wheels everything
Those wheels with SBC Finish 👌
Hey bro they look sick... Now you let us know how they actually stop! 👏👏👏
old video but I think paint the calipers to match the body of the car leave the wheels the way they are
maybe keep wheels silver but change lug nuts to red, they pop up alot, personal preference i guess :)
How much clearance do you need for that? What wheel size and offset do you have? That will help too
Looks amazing
how about all the spokes and or center of the wheels blood red with flake with gloss black lip or barrel
Happy 23rd birthday kalvin
how have these brakes been working out for you?also what are you running for rear brakes?thanks
Great. OEM.
Same wheel finish lime green calipers
sorry if is a stupid question.
what kind of fruit is on that tree on the side?
ps: Black rims, glossy or semi flat they are going to look nice.
I think you should keep the rims silver. I love how everything matches in that one area. It looks insanely clean but after all it's your car so I have no say haha
Paint the calipers in yellow or red
If you dont mind what size wheels and offset do you have? I love those!!
Paint rims bronze 👍
ADAM #patrolife ooh
Honeslty im about to do the same thing!
What are your wheel specs to clear the caliper.
Cesar Loma you find out? i’m thinking +15 but not sure
Are these 4piston or 6 piston
Paint them gloss white with some sparkles. That'd be wild
What happened to works??
what is the brake pads reference? i buying the same calipers but i dont know what pads needed
What offset are your wheels? I want to go down to 17s. Was curious to see what offset I would need. Thanks!
love that house of the rising sun whistle
+Reece Nyland 😎😎👌🏼
this may be a stupid question but way are you placing your jack stands..i thought they had to be on the frame rails???
Hey I have a s14 on the ctavbrakeswap site there's a 4 piston and also a 6 piston my question is I have a built streetcar not tract car which makes more sense?
There's more and more cars using this swap, I wonder if that's what's driving up the price for the caliper. When I first looked up the swap it was about $70-90 for the each caliper. The Amazon link says their 150 a side
Fox you on the money rebuilders jack up prices when they have a demand on the product. one example is the svt cobra front calipers.
Will the CTSV brakes clear 17inch wheels
Voted for you bro keep it up Bruv!!!
+Bens Beginnings cheers!
This kit fits on corvette z51 2017 brembo calipers?
maybe keep them silver with a touch of red on the rims?
Do you have to use the wheel spacers to fit that brake setup?
I've been watching your vids for years keep up the good content ....but I have a question can this go on the s14 as well of course I Kno the bracket would have to be for the s14 but would the other parts go on there?
Why Cadillac breaks and not the z32? I have the z32 and also the master cylinder and works so good but haven't try them with bigger rims. Stick 15 locks the tire and it makes me fish tail sometimes
+Marc G ctsv>z32. That simple man.
Dont change the color of the rim.just paint the calipers red
+Emmanuel Limi same red as the car maybe?
+Kalvins Garage or the same purple as the engine bay
