I searched and went through the threads however it seems as if no one has figured out how to get the rear disks upgraded ala the "corvette/Fbody" mod for the front. It seems that the rear caliper brackets are different so it not a direct bolt on like the front?
one of the thing that came up and is a good point, assuming you could mount some of the calipers in question on the GT would the master cylender beable to handle all 4 calipers?

Check the specs for volume. The number of pistons is irrelevant. you need to know the caliper volume displacement. I don't think it would be a problem.
4 piston rear seems a waste on a GA. Try fwd impala SS or police rear disks for a big brake swap

i dont tihnk its worth it because im pretty sure the rear calipers are similar between the GA, camaro and most other GMs. the corvette ones i dont think are even that much better.
you are much better off just getting better rotors, pads and braided lines, then doing the corvette fronts. thatll give you the best stopping power, and not too unbalanced.
