Good deal, what's your car looks like? This is your first post? Welcome, got any pics of your ride? Now you need some rotors, brake pads and bigger wheels.

Nice man thats a great deal. dont they look like aftermarket calipers?

Yea I've herd you need 18in wheels and 2.75 inches BETWEEN YOUR STOCK CALIPERS AND YOUR RIM SPOKES!!!

IS THIS TRUE!!??

Congrats man. The LS calipers will require at least an 18 inch wheel with a 35 offset or lower to clear. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money and get some braided brake lines.. Also great find with the car, pearl white w/blk int. is rare . Welcome to CL
