Upgrading Stock Calipers

[SCOOBY DOO]

Looking to upgrade my stock calipers. What brand do you guys recommend?

I rebuild the originals. New seals, slide's and o'rings are all available and easy to replace.

I believe SSBC has stock replacement calipers that bolt right up to the front, I could be wrong.... I think (xcessiv6) here has them on his car.......

Brad I just ordered the willwood factory upgrades. I will let you know how they go. Or if you want another set of stock ones, I have silver painted ac delco ones I put on last winter that I would sell cheap.

hello; I'd like to here how the Wildwoods work out for you. I looked at them quickly but are they really an upgrade or just replacement? Also what pads and rotors are you going with?

Let me know how much more stopping power you think you have with the Wildwoods Brandon. Thanks.

I installed the SSBC kit on my buddies GN last year. Did Rotors and bearings gave the brakes a good bleed. Took it for a spin and they worked really nice. Double piston caliper made to fit stock location and had great stopping. He was still using a Power master system.

I use the SSBC calipers too. Have held 12 lbs of boost on the line with them, I do run a Ford 9" rear with 11" drum brakes but could never hold that much boost with the stock calipers so they do work.

You guys may also want to try the cross drilled and slotted stock replacement rotors available at Napa. I use them on stock calipers and have no problems stopping at 150+ with no fade. The SSBC calipers sound like an interesting upgrade.

Great info guys...thanks.

I will post the info on the calipers when they get here (Size, weight, fitment) I won't have any real world info till next season. Price is good on the willwood calipers about $100 less than the SSBC. Both look good though.

Brandon...let me know if they fit inside the stock GN rim.

These are the ones I am running. http://ssbrakes.com/i-10092106-sport-twin-quick-change-aluminum-caliper-upgrade-kit.html

Sort of wish I went for the black powder coated instead of red but they work great. Replaced the stock hoses with steel braided when I did the conversion.

 

[SCOOBY DOO]

They look nice Mark. Thanks for posting the pic.

Anyone know if the SSBC's fit inside the stock GN rim?

Will these fit with stock 15" GN steel wheels & also 16" GTA rims?

PM sent
