Good Luck gaining any useful info from that long-winded thread.
14 pages and still no pictures of them on a regular old stock length axled F body, and still no 100% definitive answer as to exactly what they do or don't fit on....

Sorry to bring a post up from the Dead But this has less going back and forth so i will share my First hand experience.
I will say The Street Lites will Fit Over Drag Brakes all Day long.
They Will Fit In the Front of F Bodies, The Only issue i see where there is Interference is at the Bottom of the Caliper the brake Pad Mounting Tab Sticks Out Far, and the Caliper face will hit if you do Not use a Spacer. So a Small spacer is needed in the front. i have made mention to them about making the pad thicker and adding material so a spacer is not needed, i was told tooling would have to be changed but was never told no for sure.
Now the rear on a LT1.
Fit Right over, Only Issue that i had was it hit in 1 little Spot which is the Bottom of the Caliper, The bottom Fin would need to be ground down a little. everything else on a lt1 fit perfect. Its just that Bottom Fin that is Touching.
Im going to try and get some meat mounted on the fronts and get them mounted up with a spacer. but with the wheel sitting out a bit on the lugs, it spun freely.
Now About the rears, The problem of the wheels not fitting has been known, I have been told the problem is getting worked out. what the issue is is that the Drop center of the wheel cause all the issues so they are working on a New Hoop so the drop center is Just where it needs to be which should fix all the problems.
If you have Any questions Please feel free to ask me, I will answer them the best that i possibly can, if not i will get you the answer. And Please Please Please Don't call Billet asking them about the New dropped center and all, This was told me that it was being done when i was there 1 day, As soon as i know for sure whats up i will pass the info on to you guys.

I have them on my 01 SS but I have Strange Brakes all around, I would not drive a car with the calipers ground so much that it compromise's the integrity of the braking system on my own car.JMO
