    Default 99 buick regal g brake upgrade

    Hey my brakes hit the indicators today. Looking to do the 12 inch rotor mod. you guys got a few years/makes/models that will fit my car and use the stock brakes and calipers. I also assume i need to get a hard ware kit from the diff car so that the brakes work on the 12inch rotors?

    I know this is a little off topic but does anyone know what car has rims that would match mine for customs? I am having trouble finding custom rims online for a good deal.

    Search the forum for the brake upgrade it has all the info you need.

    There are tons of online wheel companies to choose from. I doubt any are going to have rims that look like the GS style.

    F body upgrade will fit in a stock 16 inch wheel. the only wheel they wont fit at the crosslace wheels.

    you need the f body calipers, the caliper brackets, and a steel bearing as a spacer so the new caliper bracket bolts center up, or tap the new bracket to fit the stock bolts from your car, and brake lines.

    and for wheels i hated the stock GS wheels, A they leaked air, B i just really dint like the looks much.

    i picked up a set of caddy sts wheels. i like em.

    I have seen those brake upgrades but those sounded like they were for GP's. Wouldn't there be a clearance issue with that between the shocks and rims?

    Nm just saw above post thanks! Just on a side note though isnt there a 12inch rotor for my calipers and pads and all they need r just the rotors and bracket changed?(not to disregard the info given just for knowledge sake)
