I had several issues with the brackets. First the paint is in the bracket mount hole and the caliper threaded hole. There was so much paint I had to ream out the mounting holes to get the bolts to pass thru. I also had to tap out the threaded holes so the caliper mounting bolts would go in. I also had the lower control arm issue but it was with the outboard end not the leading edge. Hope to get the car back on the road after I modify the control arms and re-assemble. By the way these parts have been sitting in my garage for 4+ years waiting for me to get to the mod. These are the aluminum brackets.

Thanks for the review, sorry you had to remove some powder coat from the holes. My current practice is to ream and tap the holes after powder coat. These are still available and I still well 3-4 sets a month.

Do you have brackets that work with C5 13 inch rotors and wildwood calipers for the front of a 1988? I have sent a pm a few weeks ago .

These brackets are for 88 fieros. Use the stock calipers and C4 rotors front and rear. You will need the 88-95 front rotors from the corvette. These brackets rotate the caliper up so there are no problems when making a tight turn. 7075 Aluminum, powder coated black. Includes 4 centering rings and 2 left and 2 right brackets along with the required bolts. Also on some cars the lower control arm my rub the rotor, a little work with an angle grinder will fix this.  



$225 shipped

Do you still sell the front brake kit from the c4 Corvette for the 88 fiero?
