    Hi guy's. My 08 Grand Prix need brakes . I'm looking in fbody brake from ZZPerformance. I have the stock 16'' wheels, and i want to know if i can put adhesive wheel weight in the inside of the wheels or the wheel are to small? I'm looking for that because i hate the look of the outside clip ...

    Thanks!

    don't buy the kit from zzp. you can put it together for half the price if you put it together yourself. you should be fine with the wheel weights inside the wheel.

    You may also want to consider the 06-13 Impala stock brakes. They bolt on with minimal modification, dual piston, similar performance.

    this ^

    the only difference is the fbody is aluminum so it makes them lighter. the fbody brackets won't bolt up directly because they use 12mm bolts instead of 14mm. the impala brackets bolt right on. plus the f body banjo bolts are different. save yourself money and headaches and just by the impala stuff. you'll need the brackets , calipers , brakes and rotors.

    If you source the calipers, bolts and brackets locally, then get 4 sleeves to fix the sizing of the bolts.. you'd have it all w/o a billion dollars of shipping.

    I did this in the US for $60 shipped on the calipers, brackets and bolts. Then picked up rotors and pads of my choice.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
