Compared the fbody with the wbody calipers this morning at work with some remans we got on the shelf. Wow what a weight difference! Its insane!

I'd say its safe to say the weight loss I'll get from the calipers alone will balance out the extra added weight from the new sway bar..its crazy!

You have to drill the F-body Bracket because the W-body uses a bigger bolt then the F-body..LOL


I used my stock rotors you can use stock brake lines all you need to do is bend the brake line bracket to give the line slack.
you need for drill/tap and parts you need to get for the swap. the pic is of a fbody

Change of plans, Zippy had some calipers and brackets he is selling to me, returned the brackets. Way too damn expensive!
