Well, I have all the components for the above rear brake upgrade, except the discs. What year/model car discs do I need.
I remember there being a write up or some documentation but can't find anything.
I purchased the calipers, and also the brackets. I remember I didnt move on it because it required some trickery with the e-brake cable I wasnt ready to deal with.

Having never done this modification, I am unable to comment on how well it functions but the Seville calipers while still available may not be for long. They were used on just a few 80's GM vehicles , Riviera, Toronado and Seville. Except for maybe better brake function they may lead to the same availability issue that we see now with the Fiero Calipers. The also might require a larger capacity master cylinder. ------------------

Can I see your bracket? It's likely a LeBaron rotor.

Seville Rear Brake has same piston design as OE Fiero w/ all of same problems.
So if you have used ones, likely bad now or soon.------------------

I'll get a pic of them, but they look like the brackets in the second part of the above write up.
I fit tested them to the rear of the Fiero and with the Cadillac calipers. Minus the necessary rotor they seem to line up.
I collected my Cadillac Rear brake upgrade years ago, but as mentioned, never followed through because of the complexities of the E-brake. The calipers are new.
What I am noticing now is there are some minor peculiarities to this. Like my bracket mounting bolts dont fit, and you have to resize the holes. It's not the bolt on I thought it was.

The rotor in the Arns85GT thread was the usual Grand Am rotor that Fieros use when they do the "Grand Am" brake swap, if I remember correctly.
Buy one and see if it fits...
