bolton brake upgrade

[marcusfiero]

Is the 10.2" dia vented brake from a '91 Grand Am the largest brake rotor that will bolt up on a Fiero? I am assuming that the calipers will bolt up also.
The next question is what to do about an emergency brake?

No. There is the 11.25" upgrade as well. It uses Chrysler Lebaron rotors (same bolt pattern as stock Fiero 5 X 100mm) Camaro/Firebird calipers on the front and Cadillac Eldorado rear calipers (keeps the emergency brake function). It also uses a Blazer master cylinder. You do need to buy caliper mounting brackets but the rest is bolt on.
Once on the car stops on a dime and has no fading at all. Been running this set up since 2004 and never had a problem on street or track.

The Grand Am upgrade cannot be modified to utilize the emergency brake.

Thanks again Oreif. I will have to research that some more. You have had no problems with the adapters though? Sounds good.
