what should i do?

hi well i need new brakes for my camaro and i would also like to include rotors and i need brakes that will stock quick doesnt have to be like i have 15in brakes but just quicker stopping then the average vehicle just for now. i dont wanna spend to much just to get the car looking better and stoping quicker. i would also like to have blue or blk calipers. so what do you suggest thats cheap but good? should i only do 1 set for now and should i first get rear brakes or front brakes? i have the 4wheel disk brakes ( J65 rpo code ) and everything is stock on the car including stock 16in irocs. thx guys!
also off topic but where do you place those computer chips? it is where the code readers go? im refering to the hypertech chip. also how hard is it to replace a themostat? how much more power do you get with the chip?

Re: what should i do?

are the calipers bad? First question. If they are not bad then i would not change them that will save a good amount of money. Brake pads varies i usually go premiums and they are good. and the rotors well those aren't cheap either but if they need replaced then do it. IF you want blk or blue calipers just paint them. i wouldn't change them for looks if they are already operational.

honestly im not really sure because im actually just 13 and never have work on a car but trying to lean more and all but im going be getting money for waxing this 1 guys corvette and his other cars/trucks and 1st thing i wanna do is get brakes i just do not wanna wreck. i'll have to get the brakes checked out i might get them checked for free from this 1 chevy dealer. i might just get new pads and see if that helps and get the calipers painted i just know the whole wheel behind and all the brakes are rusted.

Re: what should i do?

New rotors (or freshly turned rotors), new pads, and brake lines, especially braided, would be a good start. Dupli-Color makes caliper paint in several colors.
