I recently had a problem with my brakes in my 85 firebird and when i took it to my buddy who does brake systems, he said that someone had put the wrong fluid in my resovoir (probably my automobile impaired brother) when it was starting to run low and it had screwed up my brake system. I have the guide on how to replace the brake systems and i have made minor repairs on the brakes before, but I don't know exactly what I need, and the buddy that looked at the brakes is out of the country for 3 weeks and i have no way to contact him. Can anyone suggest what i would need to completely replace the brake system? I don't have thousands to spend on the brakes and i don't need anything high performance. I have just a base 85 firebird 5 speed with a V8. Any help is appreciated.

 

Why not just upgrade the setups while you're at it? As for parts, here ya go:

Front/rear calipers
all flex lines
wheel cylinders (If rear drums)
master cylinder
prop valve

Pretty much anything with seals in them. I'd upgrade if you can.
