My point is still valid as there's no pictures of someone actually putting them on the way I have pictures of my rear disc swap on my old 2003 GA. At least that way we could gauge the difficulty level of it. I wouldn't want to tell someone "oh yeah, C5 rear calipers will bolt on" only to find that he chewed more than he can handle.

Yeah man he's been a member longer than both of us lol. He just doesn't post a lot.

This is true and you're right there are no pictures of it being done. Although he did mention in one of those posts that he could show pictures, but idk how in-depth those pictures are or if he even still has them. We can however base the difficulty off of what he said. I mean sure we don't have the pictures to tell us the exact level of difficulty doing this would entail, but I think it's safe to say when he says it took him 40 hours of working on it and having to make his own brackets to make it work that it wouldn't be something very easy to do nor would they just bolt on.

It's one of those things that could be done if you really wanted it, but would take some time, patience, and bigger wheels to do it.

What happened with his GTO seats?

Would you mind posting pictures of the brackets? Would be interesting to see how modified they are or if they can be sourced from a different car.

^This. Any idea or pictures on how difficult it was to swap them over or to make them fit would be a huge help for anyone else looking to do this mod.

Since you have his brakes now though, does he still have his Alero? Or has he moved on?
