Saw something familiar yesterday

[SVT32VDOHC]

Saw a 97-04 Buick Regal the yesterday with 05+ Bullit wheels, tires and the brake calipers. I saw him driving, then I saw him stopped at the light, and sure enough. I know the bolt pattern is the same on both wheels/cars, but I wonder how he put the calipers on there. I would like to know what spindles and caliper brackets he used. Anybody else seen this??

 

[stykthyn]

maybe they are a direct bolt on

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

I was wondering the same thing. I have tons of those spindles around the yard, just no 05-08 Mustang brakes.

I have seen Monte Carlos with Cobra Wheels before, but never noticed anything with the Calipers.

Quit yelling at all of us! It hurts our ears!

Nice car BTW. Too bad you sold it.

Ive seen them on some of the GM cars. We saw them on a GTP I think not too long ago. Never looked at the brakes though.

Check Ebay. 05+ GT calipers go pretty cheap since the only people who have use for them are 05+ V6 owners...and they haven't really picked up on the upgrade yet

They are not a bolt on. I forgot I had an 06 Mustang V6 come in here. I just went out there and grabbed a caliper that was laying in the car, and they do not bolt up to a G. Prix, Regal, Century, style front spindle. They must have modified something. Although, it looks as if the rotor will line up inside the caliper, if you fab up the alignment of the brackets and spindle holes.
