I picked these calipers up at a swap meet today pretty cheap. The guy said they came off of a Camaro. I figured if I can use them, great...if not, I'll clean them up and try to resell them. So, I just wanted to get some opinions and some suggestions on pads and what not.

I hope you got them really cheap, they won't bolt on to your car at all without modifications to your spindles and rotors/hubs, and they should probably be rebuilt before use. They're comparable to these Outlaw calipers:

What kind of fitment issues are there? I got the pair for $40. They appear to be in good condition. I might try to use them but I also might just put them on ebay or something...depends on the extent of modifications that are neccessary.

The biggest problem you'll have with those is that they are racing calipers and since they do not have dust boots they won't last long on a street driven car.

ebmiller, you were right...they don't fit right. So, I think I will just clean them up, sell them and see if I can get back what I paid for them.
