Brake upgrades, from a mix of sources



Yes lol I'm at work so I can only check periodically. I have received the info I wanted to know. 00-05 Impala rotors, which are same as 01 Monte SS rotors and 01 F body rotors, so I just need the rest of the F body components to do a change over. I wanted to know about 06+ Impala stuff but if it isn't an easy swap, I can't do it. I'm on a budget lol
 
That isn't too bad! I have rotors already for F body, brackets and calipers are gonna run me about $60 and I just need new pads that's why I'm going that route
 


As to the sleeving/drilling. I know some of you don't like ZZP but I don't have a ton of tools so if a solution exists that's easier than drilling myself, I'm gonna go that route. ZZP sells a bolt kit that is for swapping to F body brakes, no drilling/sleeving required

you can buy brand new calipers with bracket from advance auto using discount codes for $30 a side. Give them your old calipers as a core

Did you read what bob posted

You can buy the sleeves from McMasterCarr for pretty cheap. Don't get anything from ZZP unless you like getting screwed. Read that thread Red posted and it'll give you all the info you need.
 
Just got the calipers/brackets, they are in pretty good condition! Just gotta clean em up a bit. Can you post a link to those sleeves if you get a chance?
 


I did the Impala conversion brake on my 08 Grand Prix. The only problem, you cannot put adhesive wheel weights in the inside of the wheels, the calipers is too big and rub on the weights. I hate the look of clip-on wheel weight... I'm looking now for thin wheel weight.
