How should I do the brakes?

[Dyno247365]

All of the brakes need to be replaced for whatever unknown reason and I'm going to convert the rear to disc. But I'm getting mixed signals about how strong something is, whether or not I should buy brand new(and I prefer it so my value goes up), and how much money I should spend. And I'm also trying to do this as a one shot deal since it will be expensive enough.

So my questions are:
1.What brake rotors, company and size, do you think I should buy front and rear for my third gen?
2. Where should I get the calipers and the whole setup to convert the rear to disc, brand new or a junk yard?
I'm more confused about how I should do the rear disc conversion because there's a ton of ways. New axle, custom setup, disc conversion kit, the list goes on and on.

3. Will all of this stuff hold up in 400-500hp/tq range?
4. Do I need to buy new axles and a rear end for a high performance setup? (for those who remember, we went over this before but I'm still confused about it)
5. This one's important, proposedly how much money will this all cost?
For 4 rotors, 4 calipers, emergency brake line, mounting brackets, etc.

I'm not looking to do this cheaply but I don't have money to throw around either and only have till Jan 23rd(when classes start again)

no pressure of course

i'll try this one...

1. Brake rotors i would go with Wilwood, it isn't the cheapest but one of the best. As far as size that is up to you, are you putting big rims on this, how big is the wheel, how much horsepower with those wheels you want to make, the bigger the wheel and rim, the bigger the brake rotor. If your gonna ride it with stock size wheels and rims you should be cool with the same size, see if you can get the crossed drilled rotors with good center space for better cooling.

2. If your going to convert it by replacing the whole rear axle and everything you can get it from a junkyard, if not i would buy it new. Like a conversion kit from Wilwood or SSBS.

3. The amount of power really doesn't matter, what matters is HOW your getting that power. Is it more to the wheels so you buy new tires? is it by adding a short shifter and shift kit? What are you adding to make it 500hp?

4. Depends what kind of high performance setup your talking about like i said above. Are you shrinking gears in the diff?

5. It still depends on the factors above but i would guesstimate between $2000-$2500. w/ axle replacement. Again thats just a guess it all depends where you live and where you buy. I hope this helps you out, PEACE!

2-2-2,500...*feels sick*
Well maybe this is mostly because wilwood makes very good, and expensive rotors.
And I was sure the Axle was going to cost the most.
hmm...I'll check out the wilwood and ssbm kits and I guess I should check out a few more faqs online.

The power project is a future project because I lack the time and resources but I'm most likely swapping the engine and supercharging it or something crazy like that, for now It just has the 305 tpi with the 700r4. On the other hand, I just want to fix up the car for now to drive it and incase I decided to sell it(no real power mods) and I could get a lot more than I paid for it.

Another question, I've been told going to the junkyard to pick up a rear end would be the ideal choice for the conversion. Sounds good to me so what years camaro should I be looking for and ..just wondering would a C4/C5 rear end fit? ..I'm just wondering.
