So power stop is totally clueless on brakes . I was told that there was no trans am in her system. Had to tell her to look under Firebird. Anyway Looking to upgrade front brakes on 1988 GTA with the original stock honeycomb rim's 16.
Does anybody have any experience with or can tell me if, KC1482-26 front break kit will fit. Thanks I have searched the break thread for hours.. unfortunately the search bar on this site seems to not be what it used to be! Thank you!

I'm pretty sure they're rhe same size as stock. They look like typical 154 pads

Powerstop has excellent marketing, trying to convince people remanufactured stock calipers are worth more with red paint.

they seem to be decent rebuilds. The red is powder coated as I recall. But yeah, they do a good job at trying to fool people into thinking they're upgraded calipers. Performance red and all........Originally Posted by Komet
