Playing with the idea of spending $ for my xmas on Upgrading my front brakes instead of power.

02 Z running 17x9.5 ZR1 up front/17x11 back with 50 offset iirc (oe replica black with machined lip) As much as I'd like to i'm not ready to go for a porsche//brembo setup yet and don't have big enough wheels for the CTS-V

I am considering the SSBC force 10 4 piston kit and braided ss lines on all 4's, and was also kinda looking at Strange/wilwood but don't know much about them. I am open to other options (not interested in the c5 conversion)

This is my DD and as much as the stock brakes work well around town We all know what happens with some real usage.

My main goal other than upgraded brake performance 24/7 is bringing it down from high speed quickly and reliably with increased stopping power (kinda the same thing) gut wrenching stops would be just fine

Feedback on any of the listed possibilities or further suggestions are welcome

prices would be nice if you suggest another option, i'd prefer straight bolt up kits but if i need to cut **** then that's fine.


Thanks guys, its 3am and time for bed.

I too am debating such an upgrade. BAER has some good kits too, but kinda pricey. Doesn't seem to be a popular MOD.

Wilwood makes some nice kits too, especially the SL6 Big Brake kit. Baer makes nice ones too like the GT, GT+ or the 6S kits. They look awsome, but cost some serious coin. 2K and up.

I got ATE rotors and Hawk HPS pads and they work great for me.
