    Brake upgrade questions.

    I need to upgrade my brakes and do not know what is good or bad. I would love suggestions on rotor size,etc. and maybe some good brands. Not looking to spend thousands, but want decent quality that will give good service. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I went with a Wilwood front brake kit. She stops on a dime now.

    I did get the 6 piston. Ordered from JC Whitney. It took about a month to arrive. Got the drilled and slotted rotors.

    I did not install them. I am far from being a mechanic. I feel confident that they were installed correctly. Brakes work flawlessly now. They were installed by my good friends at Matthews Automotive in Florence.
