if you notice they are still solid rotors... unless you do a grand am upgrade and order the rotors for the grand am (if they are availiable)

I'm always nervous when the guy writing the add can't speak proper English. Also, it seems that the photos are all generic, probably from the suppliers web page. They couldn't be bothered to check that the images matched what they were selling. None of them looked like Fiero rotors to me. At the very least, ask them for proper images. Also, it seems like they're just selling stock solid rotors with some holes drilled in them. Not going to be much better than stock. I would rather do a proper upgrade if it was me.

I emailed asking "What mods are required, and real Willwood calipers?. Do you have any pictures of real installs or client referals?" Let's see what the reply is as I agree and concerned when the pics are all the same, and Willwood calipers, OMG what a price if so:). Option B for that I am considering as I have the GA fronts: These Pads: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190412298957&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190412 298957&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Step up which I would try after the above: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200491099946&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200491 099946&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Then the rotors: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200492755945&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT - http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200492 755945&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Pads are worth the extra as there are non listed for the GA for performance & heat that won't fade on ya...the rotors I am willing to try...thoughts?, does anyone know of a performance pad available locally? I emailed asking to confirm the pads, Reply: "yes this DP31173C will work on 90-91 beretta 2.3 and 88-90 beretta 2.8 and 90-91 beretta 3.1"

Another note, those are not even GA or Fiero rotors. They are only 4 lug not five lug. Note the 4 big holes spaced at 90 degree's of each other. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |
