Reply to "big brakes"

Be careful of some "big-brake kits" not clearing the inside of your front wheels. Some fit 15", some fit 16" or 17" wheels and a few fit only 17" wheels, so this is a sort-of hidden expense. If you expect to run open-track &/or open road events and run hard, stock 0.81" thickness vented rotors won't work much better than stock solid rotors before warping. For 'severe duty' brakes, you need big 1.25" thick rotors and appropriate calipers. Hall's kits I believe use modified Corvette calipers & thick rotors that do clear Campy wheels. The brakes on post-'80s Panteras are huge and work well for competition but are extremely expensive to add to early Panteras. Just another few things to decide & check on before you write that check.
