Back in 1989 we bought an LX 5.0 Hatchback with 25 year badge on the dash as a wedding Gift. Back then the thing was to get GTS headlight covers so what the heck before they are all gone i decided to shoot back in time an get a set for the 95 GTS.

Those look an awful lot like the Cadillac Ats calipers. What are these from and what does it take to install them.
The caliper is the same as the ats. Theyre from the 2.0l 4cyl camaro. So in theory you use the S AND S engineering kit and they bolt right up. So they'll go on the cobra once my inserts are done. Gm lists them as different parts but I'm pretty sure it's just because the paint. I can confirm the pads are the same, rebuild kit is the same and the without inserts the holes do line up. So it's another caliper option if you're browsing the junkyard or eBay

And its very possible I'll have a solution to spending 175 bucks on the inserts from s and s and maybe cost around 100 bucks very very soon ;)

Are you going to use the .070” spacer behind the rotor also?

KBD side scoops showed up today. They'll look great once painted and on the car

Hooked the tuner up to the car seems like it responds well
When hitting throttle
Not bad

I did install a catch can on the driver side
So both are on the air filter box looks pretty good

I think I really like those scoops. I may have to look in to this. Do they go over the stock pieces or do they replace them?
They go over them and attach with double sided tape. Like the old ummm duraflex ones
