3rd gen to 4th gen front brakes to 4th gen BBK, is this possible???
Questions:
I own a 1989 GTA which has been converted to 4th gen brakes, question is; Now that I already have the conversion can I install 4th gen 1998-2002 big brake kits made by brands like Brembo, Wilwood, etc,? Will they bolt in just like if I owned a 4th gen?
Thanks!👌

Now that's different. The gta wheels won't clear many brakes. The wheels will be the problem not the car
I've used c5 and s10 fitment brakes on a commonly modified 3rd Gen spindle.

Not so much, I have seen some 4th gen conversions that will not work on the 3rd gen that was converted to 4th gen brakes, you have to be really careful there
