Entire brake system!!!! Need a new one!
Ok, I have an '85 T/A that is currently in the process of a TOTAL rebuild to "Pro-touring" specs. I dont trust any of the current components (Well... MAYBE the brake pedal.) I would like to replace the: Master cyl, booster, calipers, rotors, lines, etc. The rear axle is going to be a strange S-60 and I have no idea what brakes fit this unit (Or can be made to fit) Rear wheels will be 19"X12" and fronts will be 18"X9.5", so I would like the largest cross-drilled rotors available. This is not a street car, but I will need it to stop very well. (Possibly from 180 mph, who knows.) I would also like the E-brake to work.
I am open to all kinds of Ideas....
Thanks!!

This topic has been covered literally thousands of times, just do a search 
for what you are interested in, brakes, suspension, rear axles, etc. I do not mean this to sound rude but that is why no one has responded to you.

I know I have a set of 14" front two piece rotors in the shop along with some 13.4" rear two piece rotors, they should fill up the wheels quite nicely!

Re: Entire brake system!!!! Need a new one!
And will fit the s-60 rear? I did do a search and most of what I came up with had to do with the stock brake system (Stuff like "Will a wilwood master cyl work with my stock brakes?", or "What are the biggest brakes I can put on the stock 10 or 9 bolt") I couldnt find anything on big brakes with a S-60 (Dana 60) rear.
I really dont mean to sound pompus (I just know when I dont know! LOL) but I know when I'm out of my league and really want to make sure I match this stuff up correctly. It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of question. I DO know that Ed Miller is the man!! (Talked to him about a different car before.)
Thanks for the patience and thanks for your responses!!

Yes they'll fit the S60 rear, just get it with standard GM offset and Gm flanges and you can install practically anything you want.
