Check the threads by AZHitman. Think they were more trouble than they were worth to adapt.

its not realyl any trouble, however its just for looks.... Braking distance doesnt really get any better as the pad swept area is roughly the same.

I thought the caliper brackets had to be fabricated or something?

I forgot because I don't want to go that way.

The kit in the link james posted "appears" to have the brakets with it.

That is a great deal, even if you just put the calipers on your car.

I hope you get it.

It would help on the race track, where the rotor heat affects braking. About turn 11 at Barbers on lap 6, you will wish you had bigger brakes, no matter what you are driving.

Nothing like a 40 MPH turn after a 1/4 mile straigh, where you cang get up to about 130 MPH! Those counters are there for a reason 5, 4, Shift, 3, Shift, 2, BRAKE!!!!!!!, 1, Shift, Pray, Turn, Gas!!!!!
