Well new mod to my SS, I put wilwood racing brakes on all four. It was a perfect match it's their PS1 2 piston calipers, man what a difference in fact the fronts are so strong I had to back the adjusting rod on the pedal all the way in. The rears were adjusted to start locking up before the fronts came on . These make the stock ones feel like junk I'm going to replace the pathetic parking brake also, these are virtually a direct fit only one needed a little filing.

Thanks, yes these made a huge difference. The cost was alot better for me because I know somebody in the business. I think they go for $80 a wheel, they aren't cheep but well worth it.
