Good Afternoon,

I'm looking at upgrading my brake system here shortly, but keeping my 15" rims (American Racing Outlaw II's). I'm looking at using the C4 setup for the rears but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out a good system for the front. I'd like to run a dual piston caliper with at least a 11.75 x 1.1 rotor. Possible caliper options seem to include the CTS, C4(J55), 05 Blazer 2WD, 04 GTO, and maybe that from the 06 Impala. The Howe caliper would fit but it lacks o-ring groves which creates a rattle. Also I'm not sure as it is designed strictly for racing. My Camino is mainly a street car.

Any ideas would be very helpful.

Bill
