Isnt our rotor already 12 inch? Id have to check the thread to see what it says. N the impala brakes are double piston compared to our one so yeah thatd help. But what do you mean the ss lines?Quote:

Rotors are 11.7 actually. Impala are 12" if you get the right year. Not much of a difference but I was also doing a brake job and the prices were the same so I said y not. Did that along make a difference not sure because I also switch to EBC pads and that alone made a huge difference.
But when the times comes ill be doing either Vettes are ctsv!
Ahh okay I seen SS n thought stainless steel lines lol. N yeah 11.7 to be exact. But yeah the dual piston is the kicker n I didnt think about that, I was just thinking about the same size. N im thinking to just save my money n get the vette fronts. Because I was gonna grab the whole set of the callahan for like $420. Might as well just get the vette brakes n a set of rotors. N just keep my rears.Quote:

You agree with saving for vettes?? N lookie here for the impalas. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=47155329448Quote:

Lol ya thats what I was thinking. Theyre already powdercoated red n include everything. The vettes z06 ive seen fore 235 but thats with no brackets or anything.Quote:

Ill check to see if he has a socket set..you talking for the downpipe bolts or just all in general? I have a zzp flex to swap with and talked with a welding shop about the ubend being deleted n they want it on the car first for the right degree angle. I could have made the jig but since I dont weld it myself its too much of a hassle for me to take it to them n have em do it. So I said okay n ill bring it to them after. What do you mean about the o2? Shoukd I have them weld my cat back on too? Or just get rid of it, does it decrease mpg? Or just make the funky smell from exhaust lolQuote:

Did you get rid of your cat or put one back on? We don't have emissions testing here in MI, but if it helps to keep it, I'd rather do that.Quote:
