That's nice and all, but still you have work to do to get them to work (redrilling the rotors). Also, the rotors are smaller than the Neon/Daytona setup and your pad choices aren't nearly as broad...trust me, I had an SC2 and looked all over for decent pads for the thing.

Im guessing this is more for looks then anything, i dont see why people think the neon swap is hard ive built two kits and working on a third. i would love their plasma table though to whip up some of my own brackets

The reason why people will choose this over the Neon/Daytona setup is direct bolt on. the Dodge brakes you have to machine down sections and then drill, Rig up a Ebrake attachment. This all you really need to do get the rotors drilled which any Machine Shop could do for under $100 and less then half hours time.

With the Dodge Swap the Ebrake is a bolt on for third gen guys and us gen two guys just have to lop a part off for it to work. machining for neon brackets is not more then 70 dollars and less then 30 for adapters and ss hose.

I'm happy with My neon rears. I wouldn't even consider this saturn swap. I'd rather machine my brackets once, than machine rotors.

I added my input on the ORG.

I don't think this and the Neon swap can really be compared. Two different answers to one "problem". Both work, and both have good points and bad points.

Mr.Goodwrench-G.T. brought up a good point, if the thicknesses of the Fiero rotors are similar, couldn't they make a bracket that puts the calliper further out to accommodate for the 10.43" - 9.64" = .79" larger diameter? The whole rotor won't be utilized for stopping but re-drilling won't be required and that fear of compromised strength won't be there.

I love my daytonas. Couldn't of asked for an easier swap. All I did was give a spare wheel bearing and the bracket to a machine shop and hundred bucks later I was done
