Did a search, no luck! I really want to get bigger brakes for the front of my car. I have too much work left to do on the engine before I do a $1000 13 inch rotor and 4 piston caliper upgrade! I already have done the basic upgrade (slotted and pads). However, if I can get away with a kit that allows me to upgrade the size of the rotor and better stronger calipers for way less than $1000, I'm interested. AEM for example make Big brake upgrades for about 400! Too bad they don't offer for the cavalier.
My question is, will F-body or C5 calipers and rotors fit my cav? If anyone knows, please tell me what years exactly so i can start looking for parts. Thanks

I dunno it's really weird. I walked into a Chevy dealer and asked for a free set of ZR-1 brakes and they gave them to me, and it all just bolted up into the stock location. Didn't have to mod anything, and it all fit behind my 14" steel wheels. Ya'll are going about things the wrong way!

Same with my viper brakes, bolted right on, obviously someone is doing this all wrong!
Damn. I am a lazy ass, so how do I go about picking up a kit without doing lots of work? OEM you said? Have a website you can give me?

That sounds like a lot of work.
I just hooked an air compressor up to the bleeder valve and inflated my calipers. After about 2 sizes they looked like they might burst, but that was enough to fit around some Silverado rotors, so I figured I was good.
