Aftermarket calipers & weld prostars, Grinding required? I realize weld wheels and stock calipers = grinding. What about aftermarket calipers such as baer, ssbc,etc? Weld prostars look awesome on a Trans Am but I am too chicken to grind my calipers. If I could find a aftermarket caliper that requires no grinding I think from a safety and relibality standpoint it would be $ well spent. Any thoughts or experiences??????????????/

If they are Drag Brakes there will be no grinding but then you would not be able to drive a car on the street often if at all because Drag brakes are made to be the lightest weight possible and still stop and not designed to go though normal street driving. Most Aftermarket calipers like those from Baer, SSBC are made to improve braking and usually have larger or more piston calipers and/or larger dia rotors and end up requiring a larger rim to clear so so a 15" would never fit.
