    I was gonna do an fbody conversion on my car, but i decided it was too expensive for me to do right now when i would rather put more money into engine stuff and that i would just go with the 12 inch rotors. is there anything i need in order to convert to 12 inch rotors?

    As stated you will need the 12" caliper brackets. You can either get them from GM or find an 02 monte carlo or impala at the junkyard and take the entire front brake set up.

    Doesn't need to be an 02 Impala/Monte. All 00-05 Impalas/Montes use the same 12" brakes. Well, 05 had a slightly different hat to the rotor. But not even really worth mentioning. Still works and is interchangeable with the rest.

    Just to make sure Im understanding this, all you need is the bracket? The calipers are the same?

    Yes, everything else is exactly the same, all you need is the brackets and the rotors themselves.
