Brake upgrade question

[lxwants12's]

would it benefit me more to do a bear front brake upgrade kit(2 piston calipers, slotted and drilled rotters, high performance pads, stainless stell lines) or just do a rear disc..they cost about the same but most say the front bear will do better then the stock all wheel disc...i was suprised i thought the all wheel disc would do alot better..either way i need a brake upgrade cause iit goes like hell and stops like crap

Fronts would definitely give you more stopping ability since they handle 70% of the braking. Are you 4 lug, or converted to 5?

Fronts

Yup, another vote for doing the front upgrade before doing anything to the rears.

In fact, most people that switch the disc's in the rear don't really notice a change in stopping power of the car.

On the Baer kit, are the rotors larger than stock?

yea im gonna go with the baer up front sounds the best....i still have 4 lug and as far as rotor size im not sure i was never told that i needed a bigger wheel so im assuming its the same or close too it as possible.....thanx for all ur input guys!

What size rotor is the upgrade kit? We'll be able to tell you if larger wheels are necessary based on that.

12" rotor means you can still run a 16" tire.
13" rotor means you will need a 17" tire

The fronts are the place to start for upgrades.... Good luck and enjoy your new found stopping power.
