I need to get some better stoping power for when I get my motor back in. I was having trouble stoping at the first exit at the track before I had the nitrous. I was looking in to getting the Mark VIII calipers from a junkyard but I figured newer was better. So any way is this a good upgrade. I found them on auto zones web site for pretty cheap like $25 a pice.

This is what I used for the fronts. They were cheap and they have steel pistons.

Yep $25 a piece with the old core!

You will also need a new MC, i went with a 95GT MC (cost me $50 new w/ core).

Not sure on the difference between Mark VII and VIII calipers, but when i asked for a 91 Mark caliper at the parts store, they only had "MARK SERIES CALIPER" listed, so there must not be a different between Mark VII and VIII, unless ofcourse Mark VIII wasn't offered in 1991?

PS With a new MC you will need MATT90GT's 3-2 port conversion kit.
