I always thought that that set always looked cheap to me. I like the LS1 F-body rear disk brake conversion much better, just come cutting and tap a couple holes and bolt them on(bigger too) and have the internal parking brake built inside the rotor.

They are supposed to be in the works for the Monte but there haven't been any updates in a while.

When I did mine I used sockets for spacers and pushed them out with a hydrolic press, made it a breeze(other than taking the control arms off ;) ) For the uppers I pushed them out with a air chissel. Be sure to use the good Moog Problem Solver bushings when you do this, there is no point...
