Re: GS brakes ? (Eduardo L98 1991)
If you have the base 12" brakes, you need the caliper, rotor along with the bracket and bolts
If you have 13" J55 brakes, you need just the caliper and you can use your existing rotor or get another set.

If you have the option code J55 under your console lid you have the 13" brakes. Or if you see Z51 under there you have the 13" as well. Otherwise you have the 12" setup.

If you don't already have 13s, aren't lines needed as well. Just replace the rubber lines from the chassis to the caliper.

Re: GS brakes ? (Jeffvette)
the black part that that sticks off the caliper is the bracket
the parts are not that expensive... really... a couple hundred US$ for the brackets and rotors. also, about US$120 or so for the stainless lines.
I did this upgrade last fall. a real easy upgrade. no muss, no fuss.

not quite... that is the mount for the caliper to the bracket.
