Reply to "better brakes"

tomkuesterMember

From a braking standpoint I have not helped the car. The brakes are bone stock. I did replace the pads about a year ago even though the first and only set it ever showed little wear after 27,000 original miles. However, the motor is considerably stronger now and tires are 245/17 front and 305/18 rear on a set of custom HRE rims. I've looked over the SACC brake packages, and some look just right. However, without pulling a rear wheel, I believe that it is necessary to dismantle the wheel assembly in order to change to larger disks. I recall a former brake inquiry that indicated that merely changing calipers will not provide a significant brake improvement.
