I thought I read where you use all four front rotors????? Is this not true and I need to purchase 2 fronts and 2 rears? I have another thread on this with no good clarifaction.

2 88-96 front rotors
2 88-96 rear rotors
2 84-87 front calipers
2 88-96 rear calipers (i was told by the parts store that 88 rear calipers were only 88)
1 set sluppy brackets

is this right?????

Thanks
Jesse

Does this retain the 5x100 pattern? I'm purchasing a set of '99 Camaro 16" wheels and I think they use the 5x114 pattern (4.75") so I want that on the front and back. Is there a write up to convert from 5x100 to 5x114?

Lou, 4.75" is more like 120.5mm not 114. Most FWD bolt patterns are like 114.3/115mm correct?

Yes. See Jncomutt's second post: "All four rotors need to be redrilled for the 5x100 pattern."

didn't BubbaJoeswitch to the 5x4.75" pattern?

HELP!!!!!!!!

When I turn the wheels my brake line bolt hits the shock mount. What do I do? I tried flipping the bracket to change the location of the caliper a little bit, but no help.

Do you have the caliper on the right side? The caliper bolt should be above where the shock mount is....

The line bolts right in the center.
