Default Any Better Brakes Than Wilwoods For A 17 Inch Rim

I Have 17 Inch Rims And Dont Wanna Go Up In Rim Size ..

This Being Said Is There Any Better Brake Packages Than The Ones Wilwood Offer For A 17 Inch Rim

I Think The Wilwood Package Is Their Superlight 6piston Calipers And A 13 Inch 2 Piece Rotor

Both Wilwoods and SSBC's, in my opinion are not even a great braking option. Are they better than stock? Yes. Are they worth the money? No. For the same price as a Wilwood setup you can get a MovIt Porsche caliper setup. With those calipers and brackets, you have the option of running MANY differnt types of rotors and a HUGE selection of pads as well. They are very serious brakes that probably won't start working until they warm up a little.

MovIt is based in Germany I think and they have even done conversions for some 2500HD Duramaxes.

www.stoptech.com..

go into their website, scroll down to "technical data" from there go to "wheel fitment" it will open up and scroll down to "Chevrolet".. select "Camaro front will upgrade" it will open a PDF fitment page.. you can print that out.. cut out the templet and measure it on your wheels.. ive already done it on the camaro SS ZR1 17x9.5 wheels and they fit.. and if you're too lazy.. here is the link
