Default What front and rear brakes to use on my 02 turbo camaro?

I'm trying to figure out what brakes to use on my 02 turbo camaro. Car still weighs around 3500lbs. Any suggestions would be helpful

Aerospace products are ok, but the best drag type brakes are made by Strange. FWIW Pro Stock legend Warren Johnson can have anything he wants and has always used Strange brakes.

Give me a call and I can get you setup with the right brakes for the best prices.

Aerospace or Strange. The Strange cost more.

I would run a dual caliper rear setup to help get the car staged.

Give us a call and we can quote you several packages.

If you have a transbrake I wouldn't even waste the money on a a dual caliper. Buy a bump box. (Pulse leash) cheaper and will stage perfectly every single time!

You want the dual rear, even with a trans brake. Spools quicker off the brake.
