    12" is the biggest you can fit. You need caliper, bracket, rotor, pads, and possibly banjo bolts and lines

    Those are smaller than the F body/impala/monte carlo rotors from the 00ish era.

    06+ impala pads calipers rotors would be nice.

    All you ACTUALLY need to swap to 12" rotors are the caliper brackets, rotors, and pads from a 00-05 impala with 12" rotors.

    The caliper brackets will swap out, that's how the GMPP kit came.

    I thought of doing that too but I figured I could help someone that needs a stock replacement or minor upgrade first. I keep them away from the elements but another month and ill probably trash them.
