I am in for a front set if there is going to be a group buy.

If you have the time, I can run an extra set for you when I run mine at school in the Fall. You'll have to get the rear brackets welded on your own, but this would probably be the cheapest route.

Is there welding required for the front brackets? If not, I will take a set for the front if you get a deal with the CNC shop or wait until you do your class.
Thanks.

The front brackets can be made in one piece. I'll go to a few CNC shops in the next few days to get some quotes and depending on that we can go from there.
FYI these will be available in the next few weeks waiting on material to mill the rears. Anybody interested in a set? All will be milled from 7075 Aluminum and powder coated black. I'm including the required rotor centering rings and the bolts. I'm also going to include a drill bit and tap to re-thread the rear knuckles to M12x1.75. The existing threads are not a common size and I don't want to make custom bolts. I totally redesigned the rears to add strength and allow the use of the factory ebrake cables, Only downside is the rear calipers need to be swaped left to right and this mounts the bleeders pointing down so they need to be bled off the car. I've done it and it isn't hard.
Price to be determined but will be cheaper than listed here, I'm cutting them myself so my overhead is low.
The needed bolts to attach the bracket to the rear upright are not rare, they are flywheel bolts from the LS(x) engine family.
Thanks for the info, I measure them as being M11 x 1.5 suprised gm would use such a strange thread. Oh and if I'm stepping on toes making these I will pull the plug on it.

That size is also used for many honda head bolts.
Not stepping on any toes here, I have looked at doing something similar, but never finished it up. Now there are many, many other projects I would rather do than this, so I kinda doubt I will ever get back to revisiting a brake kit for the 84-87.
