Anyone put pbr front calipers from grand am's, ect. on their thirdgen before? Looks like they use similar if not the same mounting dimensions as LS1 calipers.

Anyone? Didn't think so, but it would make a cheap alternative to LS1 calipers. They're much lighter than the stock iron pos's.

1LE's are used frequently on thirdgens, of course. I'm unsure of how the mounting might be different, if at all.
