the only thing tho that rear calipers are a 100$ and shiping is $160.
That shipping quote as bad as pfyc front air dam shipping where they charge freaking 130$

just do the fronts for now, see if you cant get a used set of calipers for the rears off maybe a fbody forum or even a junkyard.

why are you wanting to change the rears as well?
under heavy braking most of the weight is shifted forward putting more stress on the front brakes. Upgrade those and put some better pads and rotors on the rears and be done with it.

I'm looking for brake upgrade for my car too but I will worry about that later in 2010 since I have lot of other plans this year.
BoostenGTP02: Since you already done that in your old black car. Do you have picture for F-body brake kit with stock rear rotor? I have no luck to find them full shot of car. All of them always use "close up" shot on front wheel only. I'm curious how they look on front 12" rotor with stock rear rotor.
Ohio club already did swap from 2004+ GXP on 97-03 model. It is really working. I'm still undecide about GXP brake kit or F-body brake kit.

GXP's are 13" brakes. The stock 16" wheels will not fit with these.

Originally posted by palsut: I have 18" wheels. You gonna leave those 18" wheels on in the winter? even though you don't drive it in the winter the snow, slush, rain, sand and salt will rust them even if they just sit there.

Well I'm going to looking for storage after all project plan is over. I'm not sure about brake plan yet. Mostly, I really like F-body look than GXP brake kit.
Other person have a good point about if tire went flat.
Like example. I have flat front tire on 12" rotor. Take my rear wheel to front then put spare tire on rear with stock rotor. I know spare tire won't work on 12" rotor.
