Can you get repalcement pads and rotors over the counter for this kit or is it something odd ball?Tony_SS said:

You have to order the pads thru their company. So you would have to stock up in case they discontinue making that set up. I'm just going to do the 2000-2002 Camaro set up insted. If i have to cut the flange then so be it.bhrevans said:
I'm a fan of using production parts, much less chance of having to change to a new setup down the road.
That was my thought too. I already have a set of 1998-02 F-body front and rears, I just need to install them.
i just got the bracket from speedway. then used early 80 Camaro slip-on rotors and the caliper off the front of m car. (Wildwood kit on front)
seen this on another thread reminded me.

This is true. It's the kit I have, and i would't trust my wife driving it. It stop OK, I've never tried to panic stop, but question if it would slide the tires. The pedal does feel real spongy.StreetBu said:
Rear Disc Coversion
I have the parts and am well on my way to completing the front end 2 piston disc brake upgrade on my 88 Monte Carlo LS. I was considering grabbing the rear disc set up off the same 98 Blazer donor vehicle. The Blazer has a 7.625 rear end and the Monte has a 7.5. For all practical purposes...

I used the Speedway kit on my last Malibu. It was the one without the parking brakes (used front metric calipers). To make it work, I had to remove the rear line going into the proportioning valve and add an adjustable one. I kept making "panic" stops around the shop until it would lock the rear wheels up. Then I just backed it off some. The pedal was nice and firm and all the other brake parts were stock for 79.
