never had a problem with rock auto either.

got my pads and both sets of calipers from ebay. pads were raybesto's. first i got the corvette calipers, ended up getting the whole set front and back for $130 shipped and the camaro ones for something like $100 shipped. the rotors i just got blanks from a local parts store.

spent way less than either one of those sites wanted for the kit.

saw the rock auto prices on here just order the stuff from them.

Correct. I forgot the calipers dont come with the brackets attached. When tanner said bracket I thought of mounting bracket, not caliper bracket. My bad, good catch

TDavis · 04-10-2013, 12:52 PM

Sorry my brain isn't working right now. So I can use impala 12" rotors and firebird calipers? Are the firebird calipers the exact same as the camaros?

98-02 f-body calipers...00-05 impala rotors.

Damn, I completely missed that thread /sarcastic

Camaro brackets come with the caliper?

Metallman56 · 04-10-2013, 01:14 PM

OR 98-02 camaro rotors, thats whats on my car

no, brackets do not come with the calipers, that was my fault earlier telling you that brakcets were not needed. they 100% are needed

TDavis · 04-18-2013, 11:18 AM

I guess my dad got me a early B-day present

12" Powerslot slotted Impala rotors. I decided to say screw the rear big upgrade and just get regular GA slotted rotors to match these since upgrading the rears doesn't make THAT much of a difference. Surprising on how heavy these things are.

My finger doesn't show how wide and big these things are, excuse my small finger, I'm a struddle

I'd love to eat at burger king

sleepyalero · 04-18-2013, 12:10 PM

nice.

my baer rotors are 13"

TDavis · 04-18-2013, 12:12 PM

Ya

i didnt want to spend a grand for just the front brakes. Plus i want my stock 16s to fit.

sleepyalero · 04-18-2013, 12:13 PM

i dont think they will after the fbody caliper/12 in rotors on.

i could be wrong though.

TDavis · 04-18-2013, 12:19 PM

Metal fit his on with no problems but its a very tight fit

sleepyalero · 04-18-2013, 12:31 PM

Metallman56 · 04-18-2013, 01:32 PM

TDavis · 04-20-2013, 06:09 PM

Wanting to paint my caliper bracket black and caliper red because that adds 20bhp. Any advice on which kind of gloss to get?

Low gloss?

Semi-gloss?

High Gloss?

For mine, I just used high heat engine enamel.

I did the bracket black and caliper a grabber blue color.

TDavis · 04-20-2013, 07:39 PM

Yes but high heat engine enamel has options like low gloss and semi gloss bro. Should be on the cap

sleepyalero · 04-20-2013, 08:06 PM

The blue is more of s matte type, and the black is like glossy.

Ehh well it kinda looks glossy, here's an idea.

and on car (if you kinda want an idea with engine enamel paint i used.

sorry its small, ill try to make it bigger after work.
