I recently had a 396 installed in my '94 Firehawk and with the new found power, the GTRotor brake upgrade I did when the car was stock have proven insufficient.
I was going to do a Z06 upgrade but as I understand it, the guy who was making the brackets isn't making them anymore so I'm looking for some advice on where to go for reasonably priced front rotors, calipers and pads for my car. My Hawk is a street car and may see the drag strip once in a while so I don't need anything radical, I just want something reliable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

I seem to remember Sam was now selling the SSBC brake set ups. While they may not be the hard core race track brakes the Prospeed or Brembos set ups are, they sound like they may fit your needs. Just a suggestion. You might want to call Sam and get more info before you make your final decision. I think I remember the prices being comparable to a C5 conversion, + or - a bit.
