G-body front brake upgrade, need help

Glad you've had success, my first and last foray into Aerospace, not so good...kit ordered from them came with 2 different hubs, as in bearing races were like a half inch off, from one side to another, also while @ Indy 2006 the calipers , which were brand new, had problems,as in the inboard pistons would not retract enough to allow the pads to get off the rotors...after trips to midway ...while stockers are qualifying, I purchased new pads, and STRANGE calipers...which bolted up to the other guys brackets, bled brakes, pumped them up on jack stands, and to mine and Jim Hanigs amazement they released! And yes many attempts with washers were made to ensure the caliper was centered on the rotor...oh I made the qualifying hit...second to last pair...
Purchase what you'd like, believe me that's why STRANGE are on the Rear of my car!!! And the fronts have the same calipers from my ordeal(strange) with rotors, brackets , hardware from those other guys.
They were cheaper at first.....but cost me more in the long run.
I m sure this was an isolated incident, just a lack of Canadian know how on my part ....Right!!!!!
