Anyone tried installing 4th gen calipers?
The 4th gens use dual piston PBR calipers which appear to be pretty similar to our 1LE brakes.
I'm curious, has anyone tried installing a set on their 3rd gen? Since 4th gen parts are pretty ubundent I'm thinking this could be a viable option.

Hmmmm, then I must be getting confused.
I was checking out the new Camaro Performers mag and they did a Wilwood brake upgrade on a 4th gen camaro. They claim their car had 4 piston PBR calipers in front with dual piston calipers in the rear, before the upgrade.
They also mention their car is a former GM test mule, so it's possible it had some type of one-off factory brake set-up. I was thinking the PBR's were standard on the 4th gens.

Just wanted clear up some info. on this. A buddy of mine who frequents this site has a 2000 SS Camaro. His car HAS PBR front calipers.
So, back to my question. Has anyone looked into getting the 4th gen PBR calipers to work on our cars?
