Fieroguru Performance will be closed for the remainder of 2015 and most likely 2016, so its probably better to consider it closed indefinitely. Until Jan 1, 2013 I am offering the "Hardware Only" version of my 88 Fiero 13" Brake Rotor Upgrade for $75 off. Instead of the $350 normal price, I will sell them for $275 shipped (US and Canada).
The Hardware Only Kit consists of the following parts (shipped in Small USPS Flat-Rate box with delivery confirmation and insurance):
• 4 – steel caliper brackets to relocate the stock brake calipers
• 4 – plastic expandable concentric rings
• 8 - grade 10.9 M12 bolts
• 1 – strip of sand paper
• 1 – aluminum brake cable sleeve extension
• 1 – steel brake cable end coupler
• 1 – Detailed Installation Instructions
I have 20+ sets of the Hardware Only kits in stock and looking to move some inventory which is the reason for the sale. The full kits with rotors are not on sale and are still priced at $640 shipped to US.
Buyer is responsible to purchasing the rotors and having them drilled to the 5x100mm pattern. So you know how much it will cost to purchase the rotors, here are the minimums (you can spend as much as you like of higher end rotors):
The lowest priced set of 4 plain rotors will cost $135 shipped.
The lowest priced set of 4 Zinc coated rotors with either Drilled or Slotted (but not both) will be about $185 shipped.
The lowest priced set of 4 Zinc coated with Drilled & Slotted is $217, but the ones I normally purchase are $247 shipped.
This thread walks you through how to drill them with a simple 1/2" drill bit:

Here is why you will want my brake kit...
My goal in developing this kit was a clean sheet approach to find the best fitting rotor for the 88’s that will maximize braking force through increasing the diameter of the rotor while keeping the rest of the brake system stock to ensure proper brake bias and parking brake function. The rotors used for my kit are from a 2008+ model year application and quite common, so this rotor will be available and fairly inexpensive for many years to come. Some of the key benefits of this kit are:
• Use of stock calipers, brake hoses and parking brake cables keeps cost to a minimum.
• Stock brake bias and parking brake function retained.
• 25% increase in brake rotor diameter for improved visual impact behind 17+” wheels.
• 29% increase in brake system mechanical advantage due to caliper being further from wheel center.
• 20% increase in rotor/pad surface area to reduce potential for brake fade.
• Available in Drilled/Slotted w/Zinc coating to minimize additional weight and improve appearance.
• No interference issues between the rotor/caliper and the front suspension a-arms when used with stock a-arms and stock ball joints.
NOTE: When installed with Rodneys 1" lowering ball joints and lowering springs, there have been reports of slight rubbing. If installing these combination of parts, it would be best to clearance the lower a-arm nose slightly to avoid any clearance issues. • Lowest price of any 13” brake kit on the market today.
