Just wondering if it would be worth the time and money to go oversize or not.
I came across this setup. Any input would help thanks!

not with those bank breaking brakes.

I did the 12" front conversion with the WS6 rotors and new caliper brackets, cheap and works great. I know this swap will not work with all the factory wheels though.

you can use your stock calipers, just go buy some 12" rotors for a 04 Impala, and a pair of caliper brackets for the same. Save your big $$$$ for go fast parts.
02-10-2010
you guys have any links for a good place to get these parts from?
02-10-2010
I think I got mine from ZZ Performance.

all i had was the GM 12" upgrade on my car (not f-body) and it stopped great with a nice set of pads.

Do this and get good pads... pads make a big difference.Originally Posted by Bio248
Change your brake fluid.
Get an impala brake booster.
That should be about it.

What does the Impala booster do?

minichopper6hp sells powdercoated Fbody calipers, brackets for a very reasonable price.

If the price isn't an issue the Baer brake set up is sweet, especially the light weight two piece rotors.

Many other faults in our brake systems already...
Lack quality pads, stainless brake lines, crappy brake booster, no rotor cooling, too much nose dive, wet brake fluid etc.

I drive slow, I don't need to worry about stopping.

Honestly big brake kits are a WASTE of money. A huge waste unless you plan on doing track racing your GP which I'm pretty sure these cars are not known for. Anyways it's GM just some GM brake parts, stainless lines because all these cars have spongys ass brakes, good pads w/o brake dust ceramics are good I don't know what OE are, and you should be good to go dude, and you will save like at least $750.
