What is bolt pattern on vetts? how about 1990 era vetts?

 

They are all 4.75", ours is just a little bit bigger than 4.5".

So their bolt holes are all shifted out just under 1/8" compared to ours.

 

I think the Vettes had the same bolt pattern since at least the 80's and probably further back.

 

Has anyone looked in to the 2006 Impala or Monte Carlo brakes?

 

I didn't know they would be different, but definitely something to look into. I wonder if anyone on ClubGP has compared the gen 2 brakes to the 06's?

Ahh... I figured it would have been a lot more than that. Well then.. elongating the holes would definately be a good, and much cheaper alternative to taking them to a machine shop to be drilled.

 

Next time I'm at the yard, i'm going to start looking at some rear disk brake set-ups on some late 80's-early to mid 90's GM vehicles. Hell... If I can pick up the calipers and rotors(yes used, but good for design) cheap enough, I'll start getting some designs together.
