What are ya guys doing as far as brakes go? I have the option for a 4 channel or 3 channel abs axle mods for my custome rearend. Do you guys use stand alone abs systems? What brake kits? Or just keeping what ya got?

 

You are asking about the older SBC cars? Or newer rides?

 

The newer rides. I just have a nervous thing about not having ABS in my 98 since it now has a big block in it. But maybe Ill be ok. I dont drive it much on the streets but I do drive it about everyweekend in the summer time

 

If you have aluminum heads, it shouldnt be that bad. But if it has iron heads, you might want to upgrade to slotted rotors and better pads to atleast make the difference up a slight bit.

 

What tires are you running? Fats and skinnies? Same all around?

Reason I ask, if you are running offset tires ABS is not functioning properly. You'd be better off deleting it and putting a proportioning valve in.

Why not go Manual brakes?


I'm going to start on my brake system tonight and I scrapped the whole brake system and started fresh. This way you can get away from the stupid metric lines.

I have aluminum heads. I know my ABS isn't working. I just wasnt sure what route to go as far as my brake system. I think leaving the ABS system out of the picture is the route im going to take. Ima look into what ya both said and see if I can find some more info about it. Thank you for the advice
