shure is -- looking forward to seasoning the rotors and bedding the pads. The best part is the install wasn't half as hard as I was expecting.

Looks good!

I wish I had carpet in my garage.. it'd be so much easier to crawl around under the car and whatnot.

you guys are a bunch of comedians;

yea my baby sleeps in a carpeted garage -- and crawling around is better than hard concrete, but ya get a whole lota strange looks from the rug burns after being on your knees after 5 hours

total cost : I opted for all the bells and whistles -- D/S rotors, powdercoated spindles, calipers, ss lines. . .when all was said and done 1K.

The new rotors are 13x1.10 and yes, they do fit under the stock formy 16x8 wheels -- they're real close -- but they fit ! They wont fit under the GTA crosslace wheels.

The 13" HDs will fit inside stock 16" Iroc and Formula wheels (pictured); the '91-92 16" alloy wheels, and obviously 17" and up sizes. The only 16" wheel (so far) they won't fit inside of is the GTA Crosslace wheel, front or rear.

Nice if I do say do myself.....

Are you saying "boo" or "boo-urns"?

That does suck, I was going to do this swap, good thing this came up now (of course I would have done a search before ordering ).

That setup does look sweet though.

And I like the jack. "Keep your car all GM", even the equipment for working on it.
