    I cant seem to find the answer in all of my searches.

    When doing the F-Body break setup, are your options limited to strictly camaro/firebird rotors, Or does any 12 rotor work?

    IE : Monte carlo / impala 12" front rotors with camaro calipers.

    Im pricing a kit together, and i just want to know what all my options are.

    Thanks for any help

    sorry, I know you posted this like a week ago... but actually I have found +04 grand prix rotors work a lot better than the F-Body rotors. There is a slight diameter difference between them, and the pad doesn't leave a lip on the edge of the +04 rotor as much as on the F-body rotors.
    Fbody rotors are slightly larger, I think, but the pads don't go up to the edge.

    I also couldn't get past the fact that F-Body rotors are meant for a 5x120 bolt pattern and +04 grand prix (imapala and monte rotors too) are 5x115, even if the holes are large enough to accomodate the different patterns.
