  • Improved Brakes??

    Anyone have any suggestions for better brakes for my firebird. Before I add any more $$$ I want to know that my car car stop on a dime. If anyone has a set of gently used brakes let me know. I'm thinking about WIlwood or SSBC. I have heard good things about them. Thanks!

    I have SSBC rotors and pads on all 4's. they're pretty cool looking, i don't know that they make me stop any better though. i'm sure if/when you upgrade to rear disc's you will feel a good difference!

        Ever since the accident I have felt a little unsure that my brakes are going to do the job in the future. Anybody know what I mean?

            I don't think its necesary to go all out on a Baer system but I agree that disc brakes would help a considerable amount. It would have been nice if you could put up one of Josh's rear ends.

              Sell your ride, pay off the remaining balance on the loan, buy a Formula (found one for $4500) and upgrade the brakes on that to cross drilled/slotted rotors and 'vette dual-piston calipers. That would be awesome.

                Tell you the truth I was supposed to. Josh and I had agreed to trade my Z06 wheels for his old tailights and rear end including the brakes. But I have not heard back form him on it and now he is talking about selling his car. I'll PM him tonight about it.

                I would love be able to afford a Baer setup. In fact I'd rather have that than a faster motor. Scary huh? I just think that if you are going to build a fast car, then you had better be able to stop that fast car and these V^ brakes are not cutting it. If anyone runs across a solution to my problem I would be interested. Thanks!!!
