As far as I can tell there is no upper/lower a-arm interferance issues with these brackets. I have sold a least 30 sets and no one has complained, yet. I have them on my personal car and have had no issues and mine is lowered 1 inch. Thanks

With the brackets are upper/lower a-arm interferance still an issue with a lowered car?
The lower a-arm interferance issue is due to the C4 rotor and is a risk regardless of bracket type. Some cars have issues, others do not, but the trend seems to be more common on the lowered fieros.
The dogbone shape brackets do eliminate the upper a-arm interferance.

FieroFan25, I will try to call you Monday with my order. If you have any pictures and installation instructions, please email them to me or post it here. A couple of questions: 1) Does this require any drilling, tapping, grinding or any modification to the car? 2) Will the original brake hoses work fine or do I need longer ones? 3) I definitely know it will look better with the cross drilled larger rotors. However, I wonder how much improvement you can get if you still use the same calipers. If anyone has already installed the kit, I would appreciate your comments. I want the looks, but most of all want to improve the stopping power. Thanks, Jack

yes they will still fit. 1) No, everything is bolt on. 2) yes factory ones will work, But I would buy braided stainless lines from fierostore.com 3) I feel that It greatly improves the braking system.
The cross-drilling only does two things nowadays, 1. Reduce weight of the rotor, 2. Look cool. But using the 88 calipers saves alot of money, sure you can use the Corvette calipers and have brakes that stop on a dime and give you 9 cents change, but it's not really neccesary.
