Re: 98+ brake upgrade
yes they will. they fit in the stock 16" trans am wheels so they will fit your stock 16" salad shooters.

Re: 98+ brake upgrade
You will have a problem with the brake lines. Both don't fit properly. I had custom Goodridge G-Stop Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hoses made. Special part number 12217-SPL. (317) 244-1000Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

Re: 98+ brake upgrade
Factory rubber - which do not fit properly. The body attachment point is different on the 93-97 and 98+ cars.Originally posted by SilverRS96
This is a well documented problem.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

Re: 98+ brake upgrade
I have a 98+ rear disk brake axle(non-TCS) going in as well as front 98+ brakes(knuckles, calipers, rotors, hubs, etc).
I'm working on powder-coating the calipers and caliper brakets now.
I have all of the brake hoses that came with the 98+ brakes, but will they not work with my 94 car? There shouldn't be a problem with the rear brakes. That center rear hose is the same part number from pre '98 to post '98. But you guys are saying that you can't used the 98+ front hoses on a pre-98 car? Is the connection point where the hardline transitions to the rubber line different? The new hose will be too short or too long? What's the solution? Use the original hoses in the front?Wayne<br />94 5 spd Camaro<br />Turbo/Intercooled<br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm</a> <br /><br />Megasquirt Stand-alone EFI controling fuel/spark w/ wideband:<br /> <a href=\"http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html</a>Comment

Re: 98+ brake upgrade
Long ago you said that the attachment point just has to be moved down some:

Is this not a viable option?
How much were those custom lines?Wayne<br />94 5 spd Camaro<br />Turbo/Intercooled<br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm</a> <br /><br />Megasquirt Stand-alone EFI controling fuel/spark w/ wideband:<br /> <a href=\"http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html</a>Comment
