looked around a bit for you didnt find **** all. but there has got to be something out there.
specially if its an upgrade you are doing. why not ask the place your gettin it donked out at what they normally do for brake upgrades.
im sure you would be able to find something in the brembo line..

lol. sorry for my inexperience with the terminology. ive only ever herd of a donk as a car with a lift and real big wheels on it. lol.
i thought the term was glasshouse for thsoe years impalas and caprices.
or is the glasshouse term only for 74 to 76??
either way. good too see he has somewhere to check into.

thought those cars already had 12 inch rotors with the five inch bolt circle and eleven inch drums in back??

my 72 does, but i know wut he means i got good brakes but my car still slides a lil wen slowin down i would love to have a big brake set up.....
i actually was told that a 4 piston caliper would work wonders for the front end with a 11 or 12" rotor, but im actually just leavin front end stock with new rebuild an addin a 95 caprice rearend with limited slip an disc brakes.....
so later on ill go back an upgrade to more up to date rotors, calipers, trailing arms, late model coils, and shocks.
