Those brakes looks Sweet man!

IMO, I like the first set of rims better, the 5 spoke ones!

Bumpin96.... not to be nosey but I am looking for the same kind of setup for brakes on mine due to the 400+ pounds of stereo in the trunk, this kind of setup is well needed! Where did you get it from? and do I dare ask how much? lol thanks

Unless you plan on running a RWD set-up, I don't think that's going to work for you.

If you really want an upgrade, I think you can do the GXP 13" brake upgrade for your car.

Honestly, there are a lot of easier and more realistic options to use- do you already have a good quality pad up front?

If you need more than that, you could do the 12" upgrade w/ Fbody calipers- or you could do a GXP upgrade with 13" brakes- both would be nearly bolt ons, and much easier to deal with.

Honestly, I have a GXP- that brake setup stops extremely well; the car's built in G meter said 1.10 G's deceleration, its really a strong setup.

The loaded calipers were off ebay for ~$300

Rotors are from GM Parts Direct, and were like $65 each
