Hey guys I have a 98 z28 I was wondering how I would go about putting bigger brakes and rotors on my car and from what truck. Was won deigns who's done it and has some background info on it. Thanks in advance !

Wait, what?
You want to put "truck" brakes on your car? Why?
Do you plan on taking your car to a road course or do you just drive on the street?

Just when you thought you've seen it all...

Not some big *** brakes from like a f150 lol just bigger brakes maybe from another GM car.

Because my right rear brake makes a sqeeking noise and I can't figure out what it is. When I pull the e-brake a little it sqeeks a lot some I'm guessing I need new brakes so I was just shopping around maybe get some bigger brakes

Lets clear up a few things here.

1. A squeak does not mean that you need larger rotors or more pistons.
2. Truck brakes? No, just no, please don't try to do that
3. The rear brake bias on an f-body is pretty bad already, you definitely don't need new back brakes unless you are really going to be pushing your car extremely like the top 2% of f-body drivers hard

Did you already replace the pads and rotors in the rear?

JGL

I know a sqeek doesn't mean go bigger lol just an idea. And no I haven't replaced them yet

Just a blank rotor and a parts store ceramic on the back should give you all that you need then. Brakemotive has a nice kit for all 4 corners if you want to do the fronts as well and get some bling.

I seen the brakes, do they have a brake and rotor set together ? wasnt able to find it

Do you mean a rotor and pad set? Or do you want calipers too?

JGL

Just a rotor and pad set

Yep, you just need to search around ebay a bit, they aren't a sponsor as AFAIK so I won't post a link. rockauto also has a powerstop kit that is probably alright.

Yeah I was looking into the rock auto powerstop kit
