I finally got to test fit these "Brembo" brakes, everything fits the way i need it to with both sets of wheels, Before anyone questions the "Cadillac" caliper, this is a kit that someone came up with that bolts right on, so for a few hundred you can have brembo brakes, I am also upgrading the rear calipers to a 43mm to keep the brake bias correct. So now there will be no issues slowing this junk down at the track.

Got a few things done on this pile, Cage painted, harnesses in, shifter installed, switches for lockup/overdrive/trans cooler all wired in, Still tons of stuff to be done.

Nice work Joe it’s come a long way from seeing it at Augustinos on rte 64 with a 4.6 5 speed and zex nitrous and peeling roof.

Who’s kit? I’ve been wanting to do the caddy brakes for years now but could never get a straight answer from any fucktard online.
The calipers i bought myself, from rock auto/amazon they were like$110ea, then there's the insert/rotor spacer kit from s&s engineering. Ill find the part numbers and text you.
