Default Do Fbody brake pads fit...

Corvette and GTO calipers? And do those calipers bolt up to the stock Fbody spindle?

Corvette pads will need a conversion bracket which will require you to modify the spindle. Dont quote me on this but i believe Fbody pads will work because i believe they are on the same back plate as corvette pads. Corvette pads just have friction material across the entire plate. GTO owners have been swapping corvette pads into their calipers for the added performace because they fit. I would almost bet that Fbodies are the same way. Im gonna be doing this to my catera here soon. Evidently 04 GTO calipers are a direct bolt on for those cars and i will be buying corvette pads here sometime..

I think the answer is no. The calipers are different. I could be wrong though.

That is incorrect. Corvette calipers can bolt right onto the F-body PAB's and use f-body pads and brake lines.
