This has to be one of the best mods I've done to my 88GT. I got it done for under $400: Brackets, 12" cross drilled rotors, caliper decals, & VHT caliper paint. Car stops on a dime and looks Dyno-mite!!
Once the car was up and wheels were off, it took about 2 hours. I had to piece everything together but it was well worth the effort. They Really stand out with 17" wheels.

I went with Kevlar brake pads, but I now think that their way too dusty, even though they do have great cold grab. Next time it's EBC Ceramic.

Where did you get your parts from? Make your own brackets? I hope to have GSXRBOBBY's 12" brake upgrade sometime here soon.

I'm definately not that talented. Went down to WCF and picked them up. Helps to be within driving distance. Rotors from Race concepts, also driving distance. Ironically, they were doing a bunch of rotors for some fiero owners. They were really nice guys. Couldn't beat the price with a stick. $135.00 for slotted/drilled - I just wanted the cross drilled so it was $165.

Those look great! I can't wait to get Bobby's brakes on my car.

Looking good! May I ask where you got the Pontiac stickers for the calipers? I like those, would like to put them on my car.

Thanks!
