Have you taken the Monte for a spin? If so, how does it feel??
Yeah , I have taken Monte for a spin Feels fine..
Mike ( 03JGMonte ) did this to his Monte afew years ago I just like the idea of bigger pads ..

I have a set of '98 dual piston Camaro calipers with the brackets for sale in the thread below:
https://montecarloforum.com/forum/pr...ge-sale-39958/

I was planning on a full dis-assemble, powder coat and rebuild and put them on my Monte. I since changed my mind and now I'm just trying to get back what they cost me to pick them up from the junk yard. They definitely need cleaned (I did not do much with them since I got them from a junk yard, again, I had planned to do a full dis-assembly). Let me know if you are interested.
