I have several Sluppy parts on my Formula, including his 12" brackets, been running them for years with no issues.
I have lowering springs on all corners and had to grind a little bit on the drivers front... That was the only fitment issue at full lock. Nice to keep the e-brake cable too! Do yourself a favor and just buy the bolts from him. It is hardly cheaper than going to Fastenal and rooting around for the right stuff.
Thanks for the good words Blake! Glad to hear your brackets have held up in the long-term!! I'm slowly starring to make fiero parts again, planning on offering my version of the c5/c6 13" swap soon as well as the strut tower caps and hood strut kits.
Do you offer a 5x100 re drill on the corvette rotors? I saw 2 front zinc plated C4 rotors on eBay for ~$80 shipped.
I can easily drill them but shipping costs would be a killer. Even with usps flat rate I can only get two rotors in a large box. And that's $13 for each box. Send me a PM and we can discuss.
I have a question, are these the same design you've sold in the past? When I installed mine that I bought several years ago, I had to grind the Inside of the caliper bridge for the rotor to not rub. Just wondering if these new ones eliminate this problem.
Got any pics behind 17" wheels? I have some 17" wheels in mind but will go 18" if need be.
Thx 4 all your help.
I bought the brackets from sluppy123 but mine are for my 85 not an 88. Mine are also C6 brakes but they have a 12" rotor so the clearances should be similar.
I could not get my wheels balanced the normal way due to the weights hitting the caliper. Whatever the width of a .25oz weight is is too thick to fit between, so they are very close. Net every set of 17' rims will fit more than likely, I got lucky that the ones I had work just fine. Unless you have the rim in front of you to measure things, I would just buy an 18" rim just to be good.

Thanks for the pictures but thse brackets use the 12"c4 rotors and the stock 88 calipers. The brackets you have use the c5/c6 rotors and calipers. You said they were close but damn!! That looks tight!!
Can you run 16" wheels or is 17"+ a requirement? Thx
These brackets look like the ones from FieroAddiction and if they are an exact copy, I was able to fit my 15" wheels. It only required removing about an 1/8" off the corner of the caliber bridges. No biggie !
These brackets are for 88 fieros. Use the stock calipers and C4 rotors front and rear. You will need the 88-95 front rotors from the corvette. These brackets rotate the caliper up so there are no problems when making a tight turn. 7075 Aluminum, powder coated black. Includes 4 centering rings and 2 left and 2 right brackets. You will also need four M12x1.75 bolts 30mm long. Use grade 10.9 or better. I can provide these bolts if need for another $5, most hardware stores carry them. Also on some cars the lower control arm my rub the rotor, a little work with an angle grinder will fix this.

Thanks guys! Good to hear you got them. Waiting on material to make more now, also working on 13" C5/6 rotors and caliper mounts now. They will be the same as these, 7075 high strength aluminum, one piece cnc cut and powder coated.

Will you be doing 13' for the 88 ?? regards Danyel
I will be getting my formula in my shop in the next few weeks, I may try and develop something to mount the c5 stuff on the front, I may also try the rear. I have most of the rear parts sitting around from when I tried to put the on the rear of pre 88 cars.

Fieroguru use to make the 13 inch using the fiero calipers without any mods just brackets .... these had a dog bone shape maybe look up this old sale thread ... many are wanting these ... me included. I do have your 12 inch kit but behind 18's they still look small .... let me know .
