Exclamation Just Got Some Baer 6s Calipers for Free, but not the right ones for my car...now what

So my brother's roommate basically abandoned their apartment and in the garage was a set of baer 6s calipers and everything else in a kit, minus the rotors. (http://www.lethalperformance.com/04-...t-2wd-p-15667).

So I grabbed those before the landlord changed the locks and grabbed all the stuff. anyway, I havent decided what im going to run for a front suspension setup on my 70 nova. Was thinking about staying stock subframe, with ats spindles, going with a speedtech subframe or going dse. What i need to know is, are the calipers able to bolt up with an adapter or bracket or something, or should i just sell the kit and buy a new kit specific to my application. by the way, they are brand new in box just couldnt find the box with the rotors.

i guess the uncomplicated version of the question im trying to ask here is, are all Baer 6s calipers the same and just require different brackets or abutments to mount them on different applications? Perhaps Tobin can chime in here? Being the ones i got were from a kit for a F-150 (the exact kit in the link in the above post)

Default Your best bet is to call Baer

All of the calipers are the same size, just need the correct mount and rotor.

As Payton said, the calipers should be the same, so Baer or any one of their distributors should be able to get you the pieces you need to make a complete kit for your Nova depending on the front spindles/knuckles you finally decide to use.
