    You need bigger caliper brackets to accommodate bigger rotors.

    you need the caliper, caliper brackets, and the rotor.

    or upgrade to f body brakes up front, same parts list. either one works well.

    lots of threads here covering both swaps.

    And more of This.

    When i did my setup i grabbed R1 drilled rotors for the 2006 impala went to the junkyard and grabbed the calipers and brackets (make sure the caliper bolts arent stripped i made that mistake) oh and you should probably upgrade your brake lines to SS lines as well my 2cents
