Ok thanks Andrei!

 

So if F-body brakes will work, then aftermarket F-body setups will work as well, correct?

 

What size is the F-body rotor? 12.7"?

 

I have 19" wheels I need to try to fill without breaking the bank.

They're right around 12". I'm getting a setup really soon, so I'll be able to measure. The GXP brakes are 12.7, so that would actually be the best option to me, but they're more expensive, obviously, and require 18" wheels, which you might have on that car...can't remember. The rears are 12". Also, ZZP makes a 13" kit for the fronts, but they're not aluminum calipers, which is another reason the GXP setup is probably better. I'm not saying you have to buy ZZP, just showing some examples of what you can do.

Very cool. I missed that you were swapping to a gen 2 front suspension the first few times I saw this post. I've always wondered about that and the new HiPerStrut on the Buicks and Saabs.
