Would it be a straight install, or would you need to change the caliper?

Well if these are 1LE type 12" rotors you are not going to be installing them on your 10.5 dia front brake system soon. A lot more parts are required,

1LE calipers and the 12" rotors from SSBC. I added the racing lugs.

For one you did not state your car had 1LE brakes to start. Also a lot of people think if they can buy 1LE 12" rotors and install them on a stock system. And your right, I do have a Attitude Problem with people like you.:lala: :lala:

Price may be "awesome" but the quality may be crap. Personally I'd stay well clear of rotors on Ebay with a too good to be true price unless they are name brand...you will get what you pay for. I'd look into a set of rotors from Raybestos or Wagner or another REPUTABLE name out there. I only use Raybestos rotors as they're a proven performer and won't break your bank account. Brakes aren't something to go cheap as you can on, it's not worth it.

For example, Z28Doyle bought a set off Ebay for his LS1 brakes and they cracked on him on his first run with them...don't think cheap is better.

Well I do admit that I'm pretty new to the whole modification scene, and didn't know that my rotors measured 10.5, and these are 12's. It was a simple question that demanded a simple answer.

Its people like you who discourage someone who is trying to learn.
