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.

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