That all depends upon how much you want to spend and what size wheels you are planning on running. Are you asking about the factory sizes or aftermarket offerings?

I don't know about the biggest...I'm sure baer could set you up w/ a huge set-up.

I asked on a couple forums about spindles and brakes 4 my 73 A-body (same front susp as a 2nd gen f-body). I found 2" drop spindles on Summit, and was pointed to:

for a C5 upgrade kit...they aren't just 4 4th gens!
Then you could run reasonable 17" rims.

APRacing or... BAER.

Both offer packages for the second gen. Both systems however, will require a spindle change. They will also require the use of an 18" wheel and tire package.

BTW... drop spindles suck. Dont go there.

Try these guys: www.EngineeredVelocity.com

They have the best prices I could find and they have kits that go up to 14" rotors.

Definately want aftermarket. Something that will take some abuse. I'd like to get at least 14" rotors if possible. Don't mind altering the car as long as it stops well from high speed without fading.
