Which brakes to upgrade to? Hey everyone!
I have an '02 WS6 and will be upgrading my wheels/brakes shortly. My question is, what is a good brake upgrade for a Trans Am? Whenever you upgrade the wheels I think it looks 100 times better when you go ahead and get some good looking brakes to go with it.
I don't want to "brake"
the bank when buying brakes and I don't necessarily need the best performing brakes since this car will most likely never see a track. So what is out there that is going to look good and not cost me an arm and a leg to buy? I really like the C6 Z06 conversion kit but I don't care much for "Corvette" written all over them.
Thanks for your help!

Keeping it simple I really like new stock blanks with Hawk HPS pads. I have been very impressed with the bite and street manners of this setup so far.
