    I believe its: 12" rotors-you can get these at either your local parts store or a juk yard if their in good shape. Just ask for like a camaro ss rotors or I think even monte carlo ss rotors work. Then you need pads. You have several options from different companies for these. Check with zzp on their options. The next is caliper and caliper bracket. These r essential for makin the whole setup work. Your stock caliper bracket won't work with the new rotor. Your best bet is to go to a junk yard and find a camaro ss or transam and rob the caliper and caliper bracket off of it. Then find a good set of 12" rotors and a good set of pads. I'm sure someone else has a more comprehensive list so chime in please.

    Doesnt have to be an ss. For the brake calipers and brackets, 98-02 camaro or firebird, any model. For the brakes, you need from the 05 monte carlo will work. Dont get the rotors for the camaro, the lug pattern is different.

    Im going to the yard and ill see if they have any f bodys out there with the brakes on them.

    Stock will work fine. You need to bend the bracket down a little but it works.
