That will help
Do they need a rebuild?

 

[JJ91284]

Here are some pictures of them

I'm pretty busy with school and work so either we can meet up together, or I can ship them.

They were off a 02 and had 50k or so miles thats what I was told. They look to be in good shape, and definitely will look great once painted.

I have a nice set of f-body calipers painted to Ford blue. (similar to medium gulf blue)

Would look good on a black or silver car.

How much are you looking to get for them?

quick question about these...when you guys do the break upgrades, do you install your front brake calipers on the rear? or is this even possible?

as i will be purchasing some pretty soon as well.

Nope
We leave the rear alone.
Only upgrade the front to 12" rotors and dual piston calipers

Those calipers will work for the front, but you will need brackets. ususally from like a 98 to 02 camero

 

[imported_silverbullet]

also you might need longer front brake lines too

 

[EmersonHart13]

There is nothing you can do with the backs other than upgraded stock components, or a kit.

The front is where most of the braking happens anyway.

yea i know, i just dont like to leave things stock...lol

you guys are saying the back vette calipers wont fit then? I should just find a sale with the fronts only?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Fronts Only.

I'm actually have a set of rear vette calipers that I'm going to try to get installed on my gtp. I have the fronts already installed and they work beautifully. The main reason why I want upgraded rear calipers along with bigger brackets is so I don't end up warping my rear rotors. I'm on my 3rd set as I warped my factor rotors as well as my Raybestos PG rotors (which are good). I want rear vented rotors which will cool that much better

ebay is the best place that i know of my friend.

Front brake calipers won't work on the rear unless you get vented discs, and you'll lose the parking brake functionality.
