My guess is they will fit if you still have the "Nicest 18's on Aleromod"
Altho, seeing as you have ur stockers on for winter, you might be SOL

Nope, you need to have 17" wheels or larger -the calipers are too big to fit under stock 16s.
He has another kit with 12" rotors and Camaro calipers that will fit under stock 16" alloys.

Those are to retrofit C5 Corvette brakes to a 4th-gen F-body, and require modification to the spindle.
What you want is the normal 4th-gen F-body abutment brackets (anchors).
They bolt directly in place of our stock stuff.
Look here:

$250 plus your choice of rotors and you're done.

"F" body brackets 98-02 is what you need. You can get them at Autozone, or buy the complete caliper with bracket from places like Rock Auto

No problem.
Factory Alero 16" alloys (both styles) have been tested by others and are known to fit. |

reg GP rotors will fit the front also, Aurora and many other full size GM vehicles that were FWD will be the same part # as those impala ones so double check on pricing while your out there because I know some companies will charge a difference even tho its the same part # the different model car they think they can get more money and they do

I thought it was a Grand Prix GTP, not GXP. I might be wrong though. |
