Took a risk to be the first
I've had F-body calipers, brackets, and rotors since last fall. Well last week I finally got the pads and put it all together today
new rotor on the left, Powerstop Slotted 12"
new pad on the bottom, Hawk Performance Ceramic
new bracket on top, from a 98 Camaro or Friebird
don't have pics comparing the calipers but trust me they are massive dual piston ones from a Camaro or Firebird
new setup bolted down
old...
vs. new
that pretty much speaks for itself
I like the beefier look since it just clears the rim, the paint job is nice to IMO
the stopping power is nice but with stock brake lines the pedal isn't much firmer, I will be doing braided lines during the summer when I feel like bleeding the whole system through

I'm not sure, a lot of guys put them on GPs but I have never heard of people putting them on a Bonne
I know the pads only fit a Camaro or Firebird bracket so at least the bracket is different from the GXP

To put the F bodies on W body, the bracket holes are drilled and tapped from M12 x 1.50 to M14 by 1.50.
The 92-99 Bonneville knuckles don't measure the same as the 00+ Bonneville, but to my knowledge no one has recently done a JY test and fit to see if any other calipers fit.
