I have an 88 notchback stree/strip with (t-5) stock (4 lug) disc brakes up front and drums in the back. Everything has been turned and have new pads and shoes plus hardware for install. I am in the process of cleaning up the engine bay and took out the booster and m/c. All stock hard line brake lines are out rear and front and will be replacing them with s/s braided lines for looks and performance.

Now that I have the booster and m/c out is there an upgrade I should do? I'm looking for recommendations for a slighly better than stock brake system. Install a SN95 booster? What else could I do or should not do? The car will be pushing around 500rwhp with the pt 67mm turbo that I am installing.

Thanks,
Ben SEMPER FI

This is some of the best brake upgrade info available on the 'net. I went with the 73mm calipers, solid caliper bushings, Cobra master cylinder and stainless lines. It was all pretty much a direct bolt-in and made a big difference in braking.
