New Calipers for 88
Hey guys, im lookin to upgrade from my stock calipers but not go crazy, im on a budget.. Do you guys believe Fenco from autozone to be a good caliper?? And is there a cheapish wilwood caliper available? Ive been combing through the brake forum and most is about upgrade your brakes with different rear and front ends then doing the calipers, i dont have the $$ to do that right now so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Fenco calipers are rebuilt stock units. There's no gain to be had by just replacing the calipers.

Re: New Calipers for 88
you could probably get some results from just getting some good brake pads and a set of ss braid flex lines for the car.
