Brake upgrade and keep stock wheels?

[Joe 5.0]

I need a better brake setup for the road course but I also plan on keeping my stock 16's for the strip, so no go on the 13" cobra setup.

Do I just get new calipers all the way around, some good pads, and throw on the SS lines I have? How about the 99+ brakes, do they fit under our 16's with no probs, and if they do are they worth the money?

I really need to save some funds because I will be tapped out after the S-trim install. So I cant afford to get the Cobras and new wheels for drag racing.

I'd say go for it, the 99+ calipers I'm sure you can get them from any local junkyard for cheap, just make sure you get your rotors checked out and turned if necessary before installing the new calipers and pads. With the 2 piston setup of the 99+ brakes will give you more clamping force and will make a difference and they should fit under your 16" wheels with little or no trouble.

They will fit, and they provide much greater stopping power than the stock single-piston cast iron units.

also, ssbc makes a cheap and killer 4 wheel pad and rotor kit for our cars. I have them now and plan on keeping them (new though) with pbr calipers

94gts,

I just tried the link. It is working, it just takes a LONG time to load. The "page" is almost 10 pages long and has many pictures, so it does take a long time to load even on a broadband connection. (If you're on dial-up, you're gonna have to go to lunch and come back.)

Great site with great info. Just give it time to load.
