Hi everyone got a question. So I did grand am brake up front kept fiero rear for the parking brake. I’m looking to do-drilled and slotted rotors with a better pad so there is less brake dust does anyone have links to these sets. I as well did the s10 master cylinder and booster if that matters

How are your brakes working now? I think the Fiero store has drilled and slotted rotors but I hevent looked for a while. I am not a fan of drilled and slotted rotors for everyday driving. The slots get filled with rust and it builds up and chews your pads to bits. Great for a track day car or one that never sees rain or snow. ------------------

Your brakes would be significantly better if you did the GA brakes on the rear as well.
You have totally screwed up the balance of the brake system.
Forget the drilled and slotted rotors. On a street car they are nothing more than bling bling.

I know they would be better if I did the grand am brakes all around but I have to have a parking/emergency brake here in mass for inspection is there a upgrade I can in the rear to keep the rear fiero caliper or something off a different car that would work

That's an understatement at the very best.
OE rears to next to Nothing with front GA "upgrade" w/ big MC bs.
Covered in my Cave, Brake Upgrade
Only choice now is use Seville rear calipers but note that rear piston is same design used for Fiero and others and have same problems.
TFS and others selling part to all GA upgrade should get sued for Fraud and more.------------------
