will these 4th gen calipers work?
I found some front calipers in the junkyard today off a 4th gen camaro, the rotors looked bigger, and the calipers had 2 pistons. There were other 4th gens w/ single piston calipers and smaller rotors. Are the dual piston ones be the 98+ setup, or some other option? Would these calipers be a bolt on for third gens? What would these calipers be worth?

No they won't fit our cars...yet. There's a few guys working on C4 and C5 Vette brake upgrades and also the LS1 brake upgrade so keep an eye on those threads. I'd say you could get $50-80 for them.

alright, thanks for the info... are those infact off a 98 or newer because there are 2 pistons? All I know is the car was a 3.8 manual.

I know all the 98+ V8 Camaro’s have the dual piston calipers not sure about the v6's.
