96 caliper bracket?
If I tell the dealer the damn part number, and don't bother to double check their listing for it, I could possibly get the wrong part, and be STUCK with it and have to pay for it.

I guess I'm the first person that's tried these. THEY DON'T WORK!! @#$%#!@! NAPA!!! It's the same bracket as the non-SHO!!! Go to napa's website, and select your car with the SHO engine, and then with the OHV, it's the same freakin part number!!! Why do I always have to find out these...- Tom L
