I found that Little Shop sells the caliper brackets separately. They are a bit expensive but they did take the time to engineer them too.

Does anyone have any idea what rotor they modified to use? It looks too shallow for the Impala rotor with the holes opened up.

My screen grab sucks but here is a link to the PDF with dimensions:

They dont have to modify the rotor?
They dont have to modify the caliper either.
The bracket mounts up to the 4 bold axle flange at the correct height to hold most likely a stock GM front caliper from a 2000 silverado JB6 caliper and a 10 inch standard rotor.

That's funny because their website says it's a modified rotor, something you "could purchase from a parts house but would need to be machined". What exactly is a "standard rotor"? :confused: I don't believe I've ever run across a one size fits all rotor. The caliper is easy.

I've looking at their site an been wondering if anyone on here has em. They look pretty well made but I've been debating whether to get them or not.

Seems to be nothing but good things posted about them. I personally don't like the rotor drilled with multiple bolt patterns. It looks cheap to me. Nit picky for sure but I can't help it. I think I'd do the lines differently too. I'd hate to spend that on a kit and still have to spend more money to get it like I want it.

That picture is a 5 lug rotor which is a 2wd in a 400. A 2000 would be an 800 which used a 6 lug rotor.

Assuming that you're a five lug like the picture shows then you need a rear rotor for a 95-96 impala ss. All you need to do is enlarge the lug bolt holes.

I welded these on
They worked perfectly

Cut off the old one or leave it.
Clock it ( new one) “Diamond” shaped.
Measure the front wheel mounting surface to front of the backing plate flange on the old axle ( gmt800 rear axle )
Make yours match it

The impala rotor is much deeper than the one they spec in the install PDF.Total depth on their rotor is 1.91 the Impala rotor is 2.3.
