Default Calipers Prep for install (photos inside)

I recieved my F-Body calipers today that I ordered on E-Bay. I'm working to get my swap done sometime this week. Today I took the day to clean these throughly, and then gave them some paint. I used Dupli-Color High Heat 1200 degree Red with ceramic. I went with a 2 tone design, aluminum natural brackets, with red calipers. Check out the photos. Let me know what you think!

lookin sharp, now do me a favor and list the info on the swap for the claipers.
dont you have to have bigger wheels then 16"?
I have see info on this in other places but have never really understood what they were doing with it.
I would love to upgrade the brakes on mine to make it stop better.

I am using the stock 16" wheels for now until I upgrade I was told they would fit.

there ya go thanks!! here is what he says right above the photo of his brake l;ines. think it answers our questions on the brake line kits for the SS.

Goodyear SS(Stainless Steel for all those anacroynm challenged people out there) Brake lines (PFYC.com)

Also this way you dont have to tap that bracket. witch is the reason i didnt do mine. the other write ups wer ejust not real clear on this. and i didnt feel like screwing up my braking system.

but hey when ya do yours can you take some photos and do us a good write up for our site here?
hate to pirate thiers LOL . but the link is good if you use the second one.

Thanks agian for this link and info.

I'll do my best to get everything for a write up, i'm excited about this but cash got a bi ttight this week. $200 went to my g/fs impala this week. I got her a full remote start kit as a late x-mas gift. Then i was doing some more reading on the HID kits, and came across a good priced kit so I couldn't help but take a bid on it. If I win, I'll be doing a write up on that, then getting back to the brakes. If I don't win then I'll be buying clips and pads for the install and putting these on. I'll keep you posted.
