Is there a brake conversion kit for 1985 Fiero GT using Grand Am brakes?

There isn't a readily available, off-the-shelf brake conversion kit specifically designed to use Grand Am brakes on a 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT. While some parts might be adaptable, it's not a common or straightforward swap. The mounting points, caliper sizes, and rotor dimensions are significantly different between the two vehicles, requiring significant fabrication and potentially custom-made components.

While you might find individual parts that *could* be used (with lots of work), it's not a project undertaken lightly. You'd be looking at a significant custom fabrication effort, potentially including:

* Custom brackets: You'd need to fabricate brackets to mount the Grand Am calipers to the Fiero spindles or hubs.

* Modified or custom rotors: The Grand Am rotors likely won't directly fit the Fiero's hubs.

* Brake lines: New brake lines would be required.

* Potential issues with proportioning valves: The braking balance between front and rear might need adjustment.

The effort involved usually makes pursuing other, more readily available upgrade options (like using a readily available Fiero brake upgrade kit from a reputable supplier, or using brakes from another GM car known for a better fit) more practical and less headache-inducing.
