Stock Brake Caliper questions (98-02) 1. Are the stock brakes for a 98-2002 Firebird V6 the same as a LS1 Trans Am?
2. How many pistons are the front and rear calipers for the stock?
I have 6 piston Wilwoods for the front and 4 for the back.
Do Wilwood Calipers fit with OEM brake pads? I want to go with HAWK or do I have to buy them from Wilwood?

Willwood has their own special pads that drop on from the top if I remember correctly. Different design and better brakes.
Stock ls1 brakes have two piston up front and 1 piston in back. The v6 cars I believe had the disc brake up front an drum in back but I've never really paid attention to them much ik the lt1s came like that.
