Default GM kills another part>>

Just found out GM has ceased producing the J55 calipers and only two GM dealerships in the country have them available..as in (1) set at each dealership. Obviously aftermarket will come into play, but for NCRS types another part becomes hard to find considering the J55 was available on C4s (option upgrade brakes) and obviously standard on ZR-1...

On the plus side, there are probably a decent number of take-off calipers out there in good shape.

Yea, I'll bet that there are alot of'em.......mine included....I'll bet that as time goes by and we have to switch to larger diameter wheels to find good tires, there will be a ton of them floating around because then it will make sense to really upgrade the brakes.
