i put camaro calipers, brackets and pads with impala rotors on my 99 alero yesterday and they fit with my stock 16s. one of my calipers seized up so i decided to upgrade my brakes.

You can upgrade the rear with Grand Prix GXP components.

Can anyone confirm what type of material the Corvette calipers vs. the Camero Caliper? It would appear becuase of the Corvette Logo that they are and aluminum alloy like the stock aleros. But last I worked on a 98 Trans Am they seemed to be Cast Iron.
So
Are the F-Body Camero/Firebird Calipers Cast Iron, or Aluminum Alloy?
Are the Corvette/GTO Calipers Cast Iron or ALuminum Alloy?

Kinda bringing this one back for a small update -
For those that want to upgrade rear brakes, I can confirm that the 12.0"x0.8" vented setup from a GP GXP bolts up fine.
For those people comtemplating between Corvette calipers and anything else (Camaro/Firebird/GTO/etc.), the Corvette calips are about 24% stiffer and have smaller pistons for better brake feel and modulation. I would recommend the Vette calipers (logo naysayers be damned).
