A few years ago I put porterfield R4 Brake pads and shoes on my car, all I can say is wow do they ever suck the big one... Car stops horribly in a panic stop. (I know they do anyway but these are even worse).
I have the Wilwood 4 piston brake caliper and rotor kit that fits behind the stock wheels. I am trying to figure out what would be a good match for brake shoes to keep the brake balance? I was thinking of these since this is all I know to have more bite that std replacement shoes.
1984 1985 1986 1987 Buick Regal Grand National Turbo T T-Type GNX SOFT COMPOUND REAR BRAKE SHOES (4) SET #6722
I was also thinking of going with a wilwood Master cyl that was slightly larger to accomodate the larger fluid demand of the new calipers (or will the stock one be ok?) as well as converting to hydroboost.. So many questions..
Thanks for your input.
PS. If anyone wants the POS porterfields I paid over 160 for pads and shoes they can have them once I do the swap.
