couple questions
is there anybody on here who fairly regularly parts cars? or anybody have a source for somebody who does. Local prefered. I'll be looking for a good deal on front brake assembly and 16" steel wheels fairly soon, figured i can get a better deal from a person, and I'd rather see money go towards a project then some junkyard
The other question I had is do you guys have any complaints about ur stock front brakes?

Look for the PEH Parts and Performance banner and the top of the forum. Click on that to get you in contact with someone who can probably help you out.

If you're buying all new/used front brakes why not upgrade? I don't know the exact specs for making them fit a 4th gen setup but I did the Z06 conversion on my 3rd gen for under $600.

This makes me wonder...how hard would it be to adapt the third gen kit to a 2nd gen.....

You can prolly find a brake setup on LS1Tech.com - I'm sure there are several guys & girls there dumping stock setups when they upgrade.
You may come across the wheels there too, but they might be more of a chore for you. They weren't all that common.....

hahaha, yeah I'm figuring that out, every other car in existance, you can't get rid of the steelies, find them everywhere, of course the one set I need, they've gone and disappeared
