I am looking to purchase larger front discs for my iroc, as well as new front calipers. On the rear, i am just going to cut my rotors and add new ceramic pads. What is the best bang for my buck regarding larger front discs, calipers and pads all around?

p.s. I don't really care about the vented or drilled rotors, i just want better than stock.

I have been wondering the same thing. Spohn.net has a Wilwood brake kit with 13" rotors and 4 piston calipers for $1,595.00

Baer's 13" rotor, 4 piston caliper brake set costs nearly a grand more at $2,450.00

What's the difference? Name recognition or a truly better product? The only way to find out would be to try both.

My friend has the track kit by Baer on his 3rd Gen and loves it, so I'll be trying the Wilwood kit. I will let him drive mine ahd his back to back and see if there's a thousand dollar difference.

 

Actually, i am looking to spend a lot less than that. I just want my brakes updated to modern levels for a sports car.

 

You might want to look into one of the many Corvette brake upgrades. 12" C4, 13" HDC4, 12.75 C5. All the parts can be had at a junk yard or bought new for around $500.

 

Or the LS1 camaro brakes. I have about $275 in mine for the conversion. Check out the LS1 Break thread


It all depends on how handy you are and what equipment you have access to.
