3rd gen brake questions.

[Viper_Storm]

are there big brake upgrade kits for the 3rd gen? and also if i change to a 12 bolt rear end will the back upgrade kit still fit? im looking for disks, 13 inch dia. roators, cross drilled and slotted. and like 6 piston calipers for the front and like 4 piston calipers for the rear.

any info will be great.

I know Baer makes a few different kits, pricey though.

yea, i know of bear, but any others? i will prob just go with them anyway, if i switch the rear end to a 12 bolt will the camaro kit for the rear still fit?

yea, im thinking about getting a 3rd gen, i donno tho, might get a 4th gen, i gotta check suspension stuff, i want it to beable to conner like a vette but go down the strip with no problems as well.

I hear ya on that. Thats why i'm taking care of my suspension and stuff, rather than looking for power right now. Just gonna get some basic affordable stuff for now, later i'll get the expensive good shit!!!!!!

yea, well im trying to save for school and a car, so i gotta make sure the car i get will do exactly what i want, i was really wanting an ls1, but at this point as long as its a v8 it will be ok, it just needs to be able to handle like i want it to thats all.

I believe 3rd gens handle alot better than 4th gens. Plus, if you got 3rd gen route, definitely try to get an Lb9 (305 tpi) or L98 (350tpi). They are good strong motors, can be fast with little money.

i think 4th gens handle better..the steering in my 4th gens feels so much stiffer and better than my 3rd gens....just my opinion

[Link85x]

Tuned anyway. My suspension has been unattended to for God only knows how many years, my grandmas corolla handles better than it.

in my 92 rs it felt like the car was sliding everywhere....now when i turn it feels like im actually on the road in my 4th gen...maybe a problem with my rs iono, the tires did suck on it

You should see the tires on my IROC. All i have to say is 18 years old. Suspension seems to be all original too, except for the 2 bilsteins in the back, which died anyways. Bushings are all hell, it's a very uncomfortable ride. It's like riding an ATV on a rock terrain, but i'll still love to drive it. One time when i came out of a gas station, i hammer the loud pedal and hit a small decline in the road, when i recovered, the my whole exhaust system hit the ground. All spring, no shock. Gonna fix that problem soon.

lol...i had this 1980 volare....it was a pos and one day i was doing a burn out in my rs and blew a tire so i sold that car for $200 and a $10 tire....the tires sucked....probably why i wrecked that car lol

That sucks!!!!
I hate going on turns, it bounces like a ball....its crazy, but fun...lol

Bag91, you couldn't have said it any better. That's exactly what it feels like, a bouncy ball. I can't wait to ride in that thing with new rotors, brakes, calipers, shocks, springs, strut tower bar, adjustable panhard, tubular LCA's, poly bushing kit, new tires, and finally, 4 rims that rotate insync. She should run like a dream!!!!

If the grounds flat it corners pretty well, if bumps, youll see me bouncing off the onramp......
