brakes

[angel_iz378]

ok, i recently acquired a $12000 sponsorship from sport compact pro. My brakes are screaming(literally) to be replaced and i was wondering since i'm fixin her up anyway, what's the best performance brakes i should get(within a reasonable price)? any input on this is greatly appreciated

I hate you^^ J/K...


With that kind of money.. demand Baer front and rear brake conversions..

[angel_iz378]

how much does that usually run?

[noshun]

LOTS!!!! but they beat the hell outa anything else

check www.rsmracing.com they do a rear brake conversion and front brake upgrade to bigger rotors for not too much $950 = $200 core on the fronts $950 for the rear!
Or just some dirrled/slotted rotors some rebuilt calipers and drum (painted/ powdercoated) and some good pads. You'll probably want to go rear disc conversion though!

I know of a way you can use corvette rear disk brakes on our cars... just might throw the info up here at some point.

Does it involve wrenches?!

[Classicrocjunkie]

Then you need the rotors meachined professionally to 5x100

anything a little less expensive? i may have a sponsorship but it's co-op which means i foot part of the bill, how much depends on what it is. i was looking at the brakes and rotors on tirerack.com

Yes... You need to remove basically everything except the rear wheel bearing... so... drums, all internals, and getting that brake plate wall off is a bitch i hear... Crow bar helps too.. Nothing is cheaper than the way i show'd you.. because a baer kit is basically what i just showed you with all the materials except the give you a new wheel bearing all ready mounted up.
