Swap or Mod for break rotors on 87 none turbo

mirage83 · 04-25-2009, 01:48 AM

The only way to get a real difference in braking is to go to a Wilwood or similar upgrade brake kit with larger rotors and suitable-sized calipers & pads. Serious dollars, but other than just getting quality pads and rotors (which will help to some degree) that's about your only option.

Oh, and skip the drilled rotors, from Ebay or anywhere else. Good chance of them cracking long before they're worn out, completely wasting your money. Slotted is up to you, but get quality in any case. Brembo is good at a reasonable price. Cryo rotors are okay, but the science on them really being any better than regular rotors is still questionable.
