Aftermarket Brake Set-Ups...

[Rick 91GT]

So my aftermarket expierence on brakes for a fox is limited, more drag oriented.

What set-ups are you guys using for a 17" and larger wheel combo? I have a customer who isnt afraid to spend the cash if he needs to but he wants a nice functional set-up, 5 lug that will look great behind his 18" Saleen wheels.

This is a street car so he needs a e-brake, and Im building a new rear so I have a lot of flexability...

Ive had great luck with my Wilwood set-up on my car, and for under $1600 I can get him a nice street set-up from them for front and rear, 11" rotors, 4 piston calipers, hidden e brake, etc... I can get Baer but are they worth double the money?

I like this for Front

Rear

If he isn't afraid to spend the cash, I'd say you already found an excellent setup...if there were anything "wrong" with Wilwood, it's that you can't roll down to the local AutoZone or Advance and pick up a set of premium pads. But, if you're rollin' 18" rims, you'll need the extra stopping power for the extra rotational weight-which I'm sure the Wilwood kit can certainly provide.

...pretty sure you found a winner Rick...

Yeah I really like their stuff personally, it goes together well and the components eem to be made very nice. Give me a shout this weekend when you have time.

baer makes a nice setup for the car. Last time I checked it was around 1800. I still think a hydroboost setup with cobra brakes upfront and stock rear discs gives you plenty of stoping power with the reliability of stock parts.

I just put a Wilwood superlite big 6 set up on my 03. 6 piston calipers with 13" two piece rotors. Got it for $1149 on sale at Summit. Not sure if they are going to sell em that cheap again anytime soon, but keep an eye out. Went with Baer Eradaspeed 13 inch rears with a new set of stock calipers. I think I could outbrake a Vette now. The fronts did need a 5/16 wheel spacer to clear the calipers with stock Bullets.

There are ways to get 14" gt500 brakes on the car. Overkill yes, buy definte bling factor.

Basically it involves an SN95 brake swap with a spacer for the caliper
