Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

I am thinking about upgrading the brakes on our racecar this year. How big can I go still keeping the 16 inch wheels? I am looking for a good track brake package. Hopefully I can get rid of the wicked pull when I change everything out also.
I'm guessing 11" or 12" rotors? SSBC makes a nice brake setup. Jonny (Superman09) sells XYZ brake systems for Vettes, maybe he can get you a kit for your car.

I don't know of many full brake upgrades that will let you use anything smaller than a 17" wheel.
That's why I mentioned the brakes Jonny sells...I was looking at their website, potentially for my Cobalt - and they offer packages for use with a 15" rim, and still has a 6-pot caliper...

FWIW im ordering a set of aerospace pro street brakes for my car here pretty soon. everyone ive seen that has them loves them. however a bit on the expensive side.
I was hearing you need a 17 inch wheel for LS1 brakes. I'm looking for something simple and cheap to get the stopping power up. If we can stay in it the throttle longer we'll have less Miatas and E30s passing us. I don't want to spend a ton either its a Lemons ride. Any linkys to website. We'll be getting the car ready for the race if anyone wants to stop by and play in Lapeer.
Trying to price out the swap out but now I am worrying about boiling the brake fluid or not being able to get brakes in the event something goes wrong. Not sure I want to experiment at 100mph. 4th Gen brakes make more sense, but I'm running out of time to get stuff ordered and here by Sat.

I don't know what you're wanting, nor how much you're wanting to spend. Have a look at the very least. Hopefully this will help you make a better informed decision.

You can do C4 HD brakes too; aka 1LE/J55. 2-piston PBR caliper and a 13" rotor. I have a complete set of J55 front brakes if you're interested, you will need to modify your stock spindle.
