Default Need New Brakes..Which Ones?

The camaro really needs brakes. They were re-done about a year and a half ago. Since then they have not stayed quiet. I'm getting tired of hearing them scream bloody murder. Any ideas where to get them done or if I re-do them what brand to go with?

I'm thinking of getting a Baer set-up when I get back home!


Just an idea hope that helps.

lower level Baer setups use the same 2-piston caliper that C5 corvettes use, so be sure to upgrade beyond that.

Well I went with AC Delco and those worked just fine. I forgot how nice it was to have a quiet ride to work.

Bosch makes some good rotors. 5 year warranty on them too. The just pick up some pads with a lifetime warranty and your set. Murrays is where I got them. I'm from the Cleveland area. They only have them for the front. No need for back when your just going to be smokn the wheels anyways.

The stock units work great unless you plan on road racing and getting them hot as hell!
