Sorry, but I don't know his name. These will fit 84-87 Fieros. I haven't looked at the 88's. Point me in the right direction and I can look into making those also.

I'm interested. I have all the calipers and rotors for the swap sitting in my tool box. If this is for the front and rear caliper relocation brackets for vette calipers and centering rings for nette rotors as detailed on bubba's site, I'm in pending price.

Someone already makes a 88 kit. Much easier to do.

Not a kit that uses the Vette calipers also, the only kits out use only the Vetter rotors.

Any issues with clearances? Will the wheels be pushed further out, causing a need for a higher offset wheel? In one of the pictures I saw of the rear brakes, it looked like the pads would be hanging off the outside edge of the rotor. Is this so? And are there any clearance issues with the Vette MC? It looks like it takes up more room than the stock one. ------------------

The wheels will be pushed out slightly, but only by the width of a corvette brake rotor. That is probibly around 1/4" The corvette MC is about the same physical size as a fiero MC, no clearance issues. Just need to swap the brake lines.

So we have to use the Vette master cylinder? Can we use our stock lines? I have steel braided lines, but as far as the Vette master cylinder does it fit with the Fiero lines? What year of Vette master cylinder do we need? Thanks.

Are you retarded? This has been covered a million god damn times. Your stock / SS brake lines dont change. The Vette master cylinder bolts right in (76?-82). The lines from the proportioning valve to the master cylinder have to swap postions on the MC. Do a search or use google for christ sakes.

With the Corvette MC, it bolts in, but the two brake lines that come out the side of it are inverted. So two new lines (maybe 6 inches long each) need to be bent and flared (double flared). I did mine with a pipe bender and flaring tool. I believe Autozone etc. rent them. ------------------ http://www.cheetahonline.com

Contact me when the finances allow. I am making extra, and will try to make another run in the near future. BTW, the concentic rings are done and will be shipped out Saturday to anyone who only purchased the rings. The brackets will be done soon, and then the rest will ship. ------------------ http://www.cheetahonline.com

Any chance you can fab up some "twice as thick" rear rings for us running the complete 88-96 rotor setup?

That would be great if you could. DOHC and myself both have the same rotors that need the twice as thick rear concentric rings. Hope its not too late.

I had the same problem with the rear rings when I did my swap, so I already made all of the rear rings twice as thick.  The extra parts that I made for the first run are close to being all spoken for (waiting for a few payments that were to be sent by mail), but I will start another run as soon as this one is finished. Anyone who wants in, just let me know. I "might" have some rings still available, but I won't know for a few days. ------------------ http://www.cheetahonline.com

I am interested... i would need the rings too of coarse. I am assuming you need larger wheels to (i have GT rims). Also, not to question your knowledge, but will that aluminum stand up to abuse? Are there instructions on how to install these too?

Yes, the 15" GT rims will not fit. The 6061 Aluminum is plenty stong for the application. No problems at all in asking. The original group buy parts are going to be completed and shipped out next week. I made some extra front brackets already, and am finishing up on extra rear brackets and rings. So to those of you that pre-paid via the group buy, you will have your parts soon. To those who want parts, I am accepting payments for those, and they will be available soon also. ------------------ http://www.cheetahonline.com
