Question What Brakes Are The Best???

HERE'S THE DEAL. MY ROTORS ARE WARPED TO **** AND MY PADS ARE WORN? I ALSO WANT MORE STOPPING POWER! I HAVE ABOUT $800-$1000 TO SPEND ON A FRONT BRAKE KIT, WHAT BRAKE KIT SHOULD I GET? OR IS THERE A GOOD BRAKE KIT FOR EVEN CHEAPER THAN THAT? GOAL OF THE CAR IS A DAILY DRIVEN 450-500 RWHP. OCCATIONALLY TRACKED AND RAN THROUGH THE CANYON.

For your price range ...

C5 conversion

Call and talk with LOU at LG Motorsports. Right now, he has the only adaptor bracket on the market.

Outside of Big brake kits there isnt much going other than Pads and Rotors. Try some Powerslots or iRotors with some Hawk pads if thats not enough go for the C5 conversion.

For just a little more than that, you could go with the Wilwood 6 piston caliper setup, which would be much better than the C5 conversion.
