On my car I run the small metric calipers on all four corners, there just stock remanufactured units form 80's Monte Carlo/Regal/etc...

Anybody know of the same type of stock caliper/size that would have a larger piston to use on the Left front similar to the aftermarket ones made by US Brake?

Monte Carlo SS? Grand National?

Thanks!

I believe that you have to get an aftermarket caliper to get the big piston, or go to the big GM caliper

I just did some cross checking and there is no difference in the calipers for a Monte SS or a Grand National. They take the same caliper as other Montes and Regals. The Grand National is an ABS caliper though.

Wilwood also makes metric oversized calipers and the nice thing about them bleeder and inlet are the same no more L or R side..
