But the rear brake calipers are different because of the e-brake.

I would do just the front brakes on these cars. The stock ones they come with are much better than the 97-03 brakes and stop almost as well as the fbody brakes do.

I have a GXP kit with front/back calipers, rotors, and the included rear knuckles.

Brake pads are here, but missing 1 for the front....

I was debating on putting them on, but not too sure now. Maybe if there's a good offer? Maybe I could sell the rear? I don't know if I want to put those on......

I searched for almost a year and didn't have much luck. I even emailed junk yards across the U.S., nothing. I ended up getting the set on Ebay, not even sure if I got hosed or not.

I'm still debating on what to do. I hear the rear brake ratio is off and the rear-end locks up too prematurely. Kind of a scary thought!

Only bolts up on 97-03s... 04+ require new rear knuckles etc.... I know because I have a set in the garage!
