What brakes?
I went to Napa for some ceramic brakes and he asked if I had the performance package. I know I have the WS6 suspension but I don't know if that applies to the brakes. I wanna get the right ones. It's a 1989 Formula 350. Need the front ones. Any idea on how to find out?

Performance package means 1LE (dual piston alum calipers and 11" rotors). I doubt that that's what you have. More likely your car is equipped with iron Delco-Moraine calipers and 10.5" rotors.
