Very nice. That's a planned mod for my Monte as well. Except if I paint them they'll be red to go with the overall theme.

Yeah I want the 17s of the sc montes real bad or the 18s off the new impalas & drilled & tapped em it was cheaper to go that way

No rubbing issues everything fits perfect & yeah the fins are on the back of the caliper & not across like the vettes woulda got vette calipers but they want too much for em lol Ima paint Monte Carlo on these sometime soon

i used both the zzpee longer brake lines (lines broked a week after installed) and the factory one and can't tell the difference on pedal feel stopping like everyone was saying. i had the factory lines installed back on after the zzpee one broked and never had problem. i ran it at the track with about 20 passes all together. they were in the car from the day it was installed to the day i sold my monte.

btw how much they want for the c5 calipers you know and is this at your local area?

Yeah I'm using my stock lines aswell seems like they will work fine for me, my old brakes were horrable it didn't wanna stop half the time which was never good & on eBay they were like $200+ & I got my fbody ones for $80
