Help me identify this brake upgrade please (Page 1/2)
pokeyfiero JUL 24, 03:18 PM


I believe these are made for 87 fieros. Probably for a 12 inch rotor.
No idea if they are front or back or what the smaller brackets are for.
I have a couple rings also. I probably ordered these ten years ago and can't remember anything about them.

I am hoping to find who made them to get an explanation on how they mount and their specifics.

Any help would be apreciated

I am pretty sure those are the brackets to use 12" C4 rotors on an 84-87 Fiero with the C4 Vette calipers front & rear. Here is a thread with a lot more detail.

Here is the thread that I used for doing my ebrake setup. You have to order the cables individually and they both cost about $20. I think my grand total on amazon was $42. The two cables will need very slight work done on them. The weight is a ball weight that I split with a dremel and cold chisel. Each weight takes 2-3 minutes. Then the eye needs to be opened up ever so slightly. On the inside of it are a couple of casting lines that are slightly raised. I simple filed those down with a small file and that was sufficient. Other than that the entire thing goes together in probably 20-30 minutes. Longest thing for me was getting the old Fiero lines out as they were pinched into place. I think this car has been rear ended or backed into something at some point in it's life.

I had this project on hold until now but as an update.

These are cheetah brakes for corvette calipers.

I already have vette rotors and calipers in the front of my 87 North Star and wish to install the rears now but I don't know where the concentric rings have gotten to.
His web site does not look like he maintains it and there is no contact info.

Anyone know who has the rings of how to get in touch with Cheetah?
I'd rather buy them then go have them made.

Do you have a build thread on this? How long before it is on the road?
I love build threads.

No build thread. I'm not really organized enough to do that.

The car is on the road. It has lebaron brakes on it now and in my opinion they work ok but not for 300 plus HP car or the way I'll drive it(on the track of course).
