Same setup that I have on my DD for over a year. Good bang for the buck. :thumbsup

hahah, looks like the rotors i bought too off of ebay. no cracking yet but blew through pads quickly. I like having very little brake dust though.

Just a heads up, going up to 12" in the GTP's are a big difference. Should be the first things everyone does. I did it on both of my GTP's and will do it again when I get my 3rd. :)

ssmike1 might have an extra set, I think it was yoo that sold him a spare set of calipers last year. Don't think he used em yet.

agreed. I just upgraded to the 12" brakes on stock calipers and it was a huge improvement. The new owner of my GTP had no clue I upgraded the brakes, but called me once to ask what the hell I did because it braked 10x better than his '99 GT. I can only imagine how much nicer it would be w/ f-body brakes.

don't the c5 calipers also fit with a little adapting?? if so the C6/'05-'06 GTO calipers could also work.

UMI Performance makes the brackets to adapt c5 brakes on an f-body

I believe you need 17+ rims... I still only have 16" torque stars

I'm still looking for brackets... if not complete calipers and brackets.

yup anything over 12" requires 17" wheels

cept I know somehow the GTO can use 16's up front as drag wheels w/ it's 12.5" fronts.
