Re: BIGBRAKEUPGRADE.COM

Thats good. I've been looking in to brake upgrades and the aftermarket still wants a lot of money even for the stock 1LE set up in the front and PBR 1989-1992 brake setup in the rear.

When you get the brakes install let us know how they work out.

Re: BIGBRAKEUPGRADE.COM

I purchased assembled spindles and brackets from bigbrakeupgrade.com recently. I had my kit in less than a week, and everything was assembled well and done very professionally. After I finished the swap I sent my old spindles back and got the core charge refunded quickly too. I'd definitely recommend them.

Re: BIGBRAKEUPGRADE.COM

Bought two kits from Scott. Scott is very easy to deal with and was able to mix and match parts without any issue. Would buy from him again.

Re: BIGBRAKEUPGRADE.COM

I ordered a kit from him last year, and he was great to deal with. Especially since I'm in Canada, and the cores were too expensive to return.

Re: BIGBRAKEUPGRADE.COM

Did my upgrade two years and I got my spindles modded from Scott. GREAT SERVICE! I have nothing but good things to say about him. Responds quick to emails and was fast to mod the spindles.
