Here is the link for the F-body brake kit:
https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_...&catid=138
I believe Keegan used Hawk HPS pads, which ZZP doesn't carry, but are available readily. They are a ferro-carbon pad, and are EXTREMELY clean. I have 105,000 miles on mine. 3 years.
ZZP also doesn't handle Powerslot rotors, but again, they are readily available. The Cryo treatment is slightly more expensive, but if it helps with warping front rotors, it would be worth it. Rears, IMO, are not an issue. Again, I have 105,000 miles on my Powerslot rotors, also.
BTW, the F-body pads are TWICE the size of the W-body pads.

This is a true statement...

Thus far, i am loving my new brakes... HOWEVER, problem now is, if you have read in my other post, my car is sitting, and sitting, and sitting... =( So a FULL review will not quite be ready for another 2 weeks, once the monte is fixed =)

Those look really nice. Which paint did you use on the calipers?

I used the Caliper Spray paint, as well as 3 coats of primer underneath the coat. =)
