Fbody brakes Hey guys,
Any of you Fbody LS guys have a front disc setup? Calipers, rotors and abutments.
I'm looking to upgrade my Nova,
Stopping at the drags is getting iffy.
Or maybe know someone who is parting a car.

Just did this to my Elky. I haven't gotten it on the road yet but I'm hoping they are a huge improvement. There was a guy on craigslist parting a 2000 LS1 Camaro recently and I think he wanted $100 for the front brake setup.

Forgot to mention I think I saw he was listing it in Salem

I contacted a guy in Craigslist, diff car. Parting out. But wasn't willing to remove the brakes yet......
Also, turns out I have 5.5x15 wheels. And now I'm thinking they flat won't fit anyway.

If I can round up the parts cheap enough.....I may give it a try.
Just frustrating to find narrow 16 or 17" wheels so you can use a passenger car tire on the front. It's a drag car for the most part.....sort of.

Darren,
I think the 4 or 3.5" 15's fit fine too because the offset is so small.
But I really don't want to spend $800 for wheels and tires.
Jess, you have a PM
