I know people have used the C4 Corvette rotors on the 88 Fiero's useing the stock Fiero caliper. My question is has anyone tried useing the C4 Corvette dual piston calipers? I havent compared them to Fiero calipers but I have been considering trying to fit them to my car. I want to do bigger brakes but I dont really see a point if I use the stock Fiero calipers. Might as go bigger all the way around.

Why yes they do. I'm looking for people who have done the swap. Wondering how they like it and if it made a big difference? I'll be making my own brackets. I may be getting some calipers and rotors from a C4. I'm tired of looking at my small stock brakes behind my 16" rims.

Even the stock calipers are going to work better on the larger rotors, so it's not just for looks. Agreed that the larger calipers are even better, but the rotor upgrade only is one of the most cost effective way of getting big brakes.

I'm pretty sure I'll end up doing this swap over the winter. I'll probaly fabricate my own brackets to fit the brakes on my car. I wonder if the rear calipers from the Corvette use a similar parking brake setup?
