Ok ladies and gents. Here is my new brake setup. This is the first, and so far the only set of big brake kit that fits my car. Since my car was used for fitment and measurments, I am the first one to have this setup. Don't mind the dirty paint and nasty-looking panels...the car has been in a performance shop for the last 4 months.

Ok, bad photo but gives an idea on the overall look inside the rim:






Let me know what you think guys.

Im such a Brake geek and these are making me a little excited...LOL
You car looks unbelievable retro! Best 1st gen Ive seen by far! I cant imagine how nicely they stop the behemoth! Im sure you need that kinda stopping power considering your hood contents..

Let us know how it goes with further testing!

Awesome!!!

Your car will stop so hard, you can pull teeth, collect change from passengers pockets and a whole lot of other things.

If im not mistaken its a 6 piston, 14.2" ? lol

The other things might just be more interesting than pulling teeth..make sure you keep your eyes on the road..

Looks great! I love the drilled/slotted rotors. And that extra .2 inches is worth some bragging rights.

Thanks guys! The "custom fit" part is that they did the measurments and made the bracket specifically for my car. They did not have an aplication for 1st gen LS before and now hey do. The rims were normal disc so I had to use 25mm spacers to fit the calipers.
I did not have a chance to really test them out since they need to be broken in for the next 200 miles but so far comparing to stock setup the braking is a lot more responsive and very strong; even if you are not really trying to get on the pedal.
The rear rotors are just sloted stock size but I will upgrade for a 4-pisting 14.2 caliper in the future.
