I have the c5 z06 front rotors which are 14". They still look to small behind a 19" wheel IMO. Maybe put your 13" on the rear and get 14" for the front..?   Either way, like you said, they are way better than the stock fiero rotors!

I like your thinking! that was what I was gonna go with originally but the price and availability of the calipers seemed high and harder to find. Today I did some research (went to the junk yard) and decided to use some more readily available calipers. Impala fronts for the front and Malibu fronts for the rear. Last night I put a fiero 5x100 bolt pattern on my rotors.

No kidding I feel compelled to watch that movie now!

I got rotors for a C5 Corvette mainly for there size. I thought they were 13" all around but come to find out they are 12" in the rear. Oh well they are still gonna look way better than the Fiero rotors! I'm thinking about putting the larger rotors in the rear since I plan on going with a 18" front wheel and a 19" rear wheel! Any thoughts?

Man that is some funny stuff. I'm glad to see humor on the forum again.

What size rotors did you get?

Tommy: Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's a** by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?
Mr. Brady, Customer: [confused] What? I'm failing to make the connection here.
Tommy: No, I mean is, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's butt... No, wait. It's gotta be your bull.
Richard: Wow.  :LL:

That clip below is what convinced me I needed to buy only Callahan!!!

 Napa may have Kroil. I get mine from work now :)  It's pricey but worth it.

The companies making the mustang II suspension will probably use whatever spring rate requested.

Get a can of Kroil penetrating oil for the next rusty part. Spray everything down for a couple days and usually the bolts come right out. It's the best stuff I've seen yet.

I wonder if a mustang II suspension would fit without a ton of work. You can get custom track width to your spec with all the suspension components already bolted on.

I'll have to remember Kroil! Is this stuff easy enough to find?

You really got my attention with the Mustang II idea! Is there any reason no one has tried this yet? I believe I could make some type of adapter/bracket at work. I'm curious if the lack of engine in the front would be an issue? I can't see why that would matter if I used coilovers. Is there anyone out there who can tell me why this would or would not work? Thanks for the suggestion!!! ::wave

PPE,  looks like your car came from Michigan.  My suggestion would be to check the metal condition of the cross-member to see if it is good enough to be power coated.  If not, locate one from a southern scrap yard and have it powder coated.  Most of the rest of the rust will be replaced with the Arraute suspension kit.

LOL!!! Our Iowa winters are not much better!

That's kinda the path I was planning on going down. But I'm not really sure what I want to do now. I'll probably just start disassembling what I got see what kinda shape it's in and take it from there. Thanks!!!  ::wave
