Brake upgrade
I'm looking for a brake upgrade. I have this one from Wilwood in mind http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
but what I'm wanting to know is if stock brakelines will fit?
If not, does anyone know where to get a good upgrade and how much that would run me.

Re: Brake upgrade
You might want to talk to ebmiller on here he sells brake upgrades. His LS1 kit is a awsome upgrade from stock.

Re: Brake upgrade
with that setup you don't use the stock lines. Wilwood sells braided stainless ones to go with that kit and if I remember they have an 1/8 inch NPT fitting on them so you would need an adapter to the stock hard lines. Like Stu said Eb sells several kits that would be a good upgrade. Unless your going to autocross the car 4 piston calipers are overkill. The LS1 conversion will be more cost effective in the long run.
