I need to get ahold of a set of stock Front brakes off a 1998-2002 FBody of any type, Firebird, Camaro, V6, LS1 anything will work. Maybe even an LS1 Corvette but it has to be a 12" rotor. I need the 12" rotor Fbody brakes (It may measure out to 11.6"). I need 2 rotors, 2 calipers, I'm not sure if there is anything else

I know some of you may have upgraded to bigger systems; drop me a line and let me know what you've got.

I know I can get new ones from AutoZone but I want to get ahold of Factory GM / "PBR" units. Your parts will be put to heavy duty use and GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! :thumbsup :)

Are they original GM calipers or aftermarket replacement? What type of red paint? (Powercoat, spray bomb, enamel etc.) I'm extremely interested. My truck has red trim, so a little red hiding behind the wheels would work perfectly!!!

Mine are red but easily sanded or cleaned. I would still clean up the pistons and rebuild them as with any used calipers. I would say $25 for the pair.. Mike pmd first so if hes still interested, he got dibs.

Well, I'm glad I started this thread so everyone else can get LS1 brakes :rolleyes:

STILL LOOKING FOR LS1 CALIPERS AND ROTORS... :mad:

PS: Hey guys, I don't mind everyone else piling into my thread to get their own brakes, but when you are snatching my deals/offers before I even get a chance, I feel that crosses the line of courtesy.

Very true, sorry about that Josh. :( If you still want them pm Mike so you guys can sort it out.


I did state to pm me and Mike pm'd me 2 days before you did. In fact you didnt even reply to your own thread until 4 days later.

I can't deny that, but I did reply as soon as I logged back in. I don't need the brakes so badly as to argue over them, I just felt I had to say something.

Anyways, now who's got LS1 calipers and rotors available?? :D

Josh,
i offered Yoosof $50 for the calipers,
and if ya really want them, i can keep looking,
as i just want them for spares, while i'm at the race track.
i'm guna buy them from yoosof, unless ya tell me ya want them.

2nd
dont worry about LS1 rotors, just get the calipers & you will need the Mounting Bracket for the calipers?

as far as rotors, go to Checker auto, or anywhere, and buy the cheapest Front rotors ya can find for a 2002 Camaro.

I buy Brembo's Rotor blanks, for $50 each.

:)
:D

Mike, you can go ahead with Yoosof's calipers; it's not that big a deal. I'm sure I'll find a set.

Where do you get those from? They sound good to me. How often do you replace your rotors?
