I have a guy locally that is selling a set of calipers that he bought for his 97 cavalier and will throw me a hell of a deal for them but I just have never heard of the company and have no idea if they would work or not. I'm not about to buy something unless I know what I am getting myself into to, so here is the info...
US Brake F33i Series Caliper - (piston dia. 1.75) and (rotor width 1.25) / Mounting Bolt Center 5.25in. Innovative construction locks caliaper halves together for increased rigidity.
(Conventional 5.25" mounts replaces DL style calipers.)

IDK, but that'd be cool if they would work, they look pretty cool.

looks nice but I dont think they are going to work. why was the guy selling them in the first place, they didnt "bolt in " for the guy or what?
yea I have a strong feeling that they would not work, but it is worth it to put it up here and see if anyone knew anything. The guy is selling them because he blew up his engine and sold me the car.

I'm willing to try them out for you
I've been looking for something in a 2 or 4 piston variety that wouldn't require 17in wheels for a long time now.
I used to race cars, now I race myself.

They
can be made to work but are
not bolt-ins. Up for fabricating brackets and modifying knuckles?

Brackets yes, knuckles no
I just don't think it would be worth it in the long run so I'll just keep the stockers. Thanks everyone though.

You can make them work! Just get some bigger rotors for those claipers. Then measure from there and then have some brackets made!
Still cheaper than buying a new front big brakes set up.
