Those are for the 84-87 Fieros and likely are designed to use the C4 Vette calipers.
They are not for the 88 Fiero calipers.

OK, but the spacing of the outer holes matches the Corvette calipers I just bought, and the spacing of the internal holes matches that of the Fiero 88 calipers, so I thought it was adapters to put C4 calipers on Fiero 88 spindles.

Interesting...

If the holes fit, and the caliper is properly positioned on the rotors, then you are golden.
One of the brackets looks similar to the WFC version.

Have you done the math for the change in braking you can expect?

I have not done any math myself but I read a lot about C4 calipers on Fieros lately and more I read, more I am thinking about keeping my 12" disks and 88 calipers setup.

The seller of the adapters wrote me he have 2 sets on his 88 cars so I still expect to receive pictures to understand how to install if I dont change my mind.

Interesting timing for this topic.

I was searching my shop attic for something this past weekend and discovered a complete set of C4 drilled rotors ready to be mounted that I had totally forgotten about. Now I need to find those caliper brackets........

Can you post pictures of your front caliper bracket?

It appears that there is many different on the market and I would like to ee what yours looks like.
I had to return the calipers and brackets to RockAutor becaus of the brackes design.
