Got pics? And why you need bigger wheels? Impalas came with 15s stock.

Cause i also happen to be building a 97 monte, ive also attempted to install impala 12" brakes, which are 3/4" bigger overall with a lower profile caliper. The hat hit the a-arm, the caliper bracket had a different bolt spread(like 5 4/4 for gen 2 caliper bracket, and like 6 1/2 for stock 97 monte bracket) soooo...you dont have to lie to kick it man

Guess hes not coming back since i called him out. Hate to sound like a total @$$hole but its one thing to bs with your buddies, its an entirely dif deal to post bs info that could cause someone to go waste a wad of $ on parts they cant use all because you wanted to look kool on a forum.

It was a fail, I actually got to trying to get them on today, my original was a dual piston and the kit came was a single fat caliper. Im hella dissapointed, dont know what to do. Guess I might give up the L67 dream

I l67 swapped my 97 a moth ago, stock brakes are more than enuf. Also if you get the harness from a98 z34 the c100 is identical

I thought it was strongly recommemded to upgrade brakes even before installing the HD465 tranny, but damn
