    Yes i just got them on my gp today and they are 150% better. all you have to order is the 12inch bracked from morad if you are going for the 12 inch upgrade you need this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWNX:IT.. Not the one you have posted and yes you can use your stock calipers with the 12 upgrade. Oh and the 12 ones are cheaper too.

    put them on last year and they seem fine. One of the rotors developed grooves almost immediatley, and they have rusted, but there is no vibration and stopping is fine. I actually think they are better than the OEM. It seems every GM rotor I have had (1998 GP, 2001 Alero, and 2006 GP) need new rotors at 20K miles up front. This set of rotors had 20K on it and I have not even thought about changing them.

    I am not sure if I got the pads with the set though.

    Go into your local parts store and ask for front calipers for a 97 olds intrigue.

    There is the JA9 and JB9 brake packages.

    One is 11", the other is 12".

    They should be semi-loaded (with bracket) so you should be able to tell the difference.
