I need the calipers, caliper brackets, and rotors from a 4th gen F-body...i know 98-02 works, not sure about 93-97, whichever has the 12 inch rotors should work. Pads would be cool too, but i dont need them. Thanks

I have ls1 rotors and calipers and i belive caliper brackets sitting out in the shed going to waste until someone comes out with the setup to make it work on a third gen. let me know if you want some pics.

I have a complete 93-97 set, but you want the 98-02 12 inch setup,if you have a 93-97 Camaro, or Firebird, you can probably score a set , for about
$150.00. But you will need good rebuilt calipers, ( thats another $90.00 ). Then you will need good rotors, ( thats another $75.00 ).

yeah i guess i need the 98-02 setup, to go on my Grand Prix. supposedly a fairly direct swap, need a couple things to adapt it but it pretty much bolts on.

Yea i did the 98-02 setup on my 97 Formula. Make sure you get the bolt that holds on the brake hoses, if you buy used. Its different on a 98-02. Kind of a pain to get eat the dealer, and nobody else carries it.

all i need is something to adapt the caliper bolts...i forget exactly what but its something easy.
