  • GI: LS1 front brake calipers

    Still on the car. Have been grinded down to fit an weld prostars that used to be on the car. Painted black. Not anything pretty, but functional. Just seeing if anyone would want these.

        I couldn't even sell mine for 40-50 bucks, so they are just sitting in the basement. Seems like they just are not in demand anymore.

            I had the same problem.

            With large Brembo brakes being standard on GM cars for 10 years now, getting big boy brakes is just too easy and cheap.

            Ill end up upgrading to 18's just so I can have CTS or 5th gen brakes.

              the cost of tires for 18s is exactly the reason i chose LS1 brakes over C5/5th gen/caddy brakes. Torturing $100 sets of 16" tires is way too much fun.

                  for your 95 yes. 98+ no.

                  93-97 front calipers are single piston, 98+ are dual. rotors are also slightly larger you need to swap spindles, hubs, rotors, and calipers together.

                    If your just going to chuck them I would buy them if your thinking cheap. Bleeders free and in good shape, not going to break or strip off? How bad is the grinding? Your just right around the corner and we've done business before if that helps!

                      I don't expect a ton obviously lol. Grinding isn't bad. Their painted black but could use another coat. I just put a set of speed bleeders in them actually.

                        Real race cars use 16s
