hey guys... i have a question how much of an improvement will these fronts brakes be over stock 88 trans am gta brakes... im not looking for the best brakes but something better than the shitty front stock brakes.....

i have ls1 rear brakes and i wanted to know if the wilwood front brakes are good like the ls1 rear brakes.... is it a bolt on deal...

 

dynalite = tiny calipers IMO, better off getting some 13" corvett rotors, brackets and a J55 caliper.

 

I heard that the Max I can go on stock 16 inch rims is 12 inch rotors.... I'm trying to find better front brakes that are a bolt on deal...

 

1LE,...you'll need same J55 caliper, different abutment(one that clears the rotor hub), stock 1LE 12" rotor, 1Le caliper bracket and a larger 1le outer wheel bearing set. That's it.

 

so i guess the 1le would be the best then..... so i guess i will have to bite the bullet and splurg on these then....

you can save a lot of money by putting it together yourself.

You're running lace wheels? Because of not, 13" stuff fits behind 16" iroc wheels and a lot of aftermarket wheels too.

a 12.5" C5 conversion set will fit but the tires may rub because the disc + 1LE hub move the wheel outboard

 

and so you know, thast not assembled, nor does it include modified spindles.

 

yea im using stock gta wheels and have no plans on buying different rims.... im deciding weather to do 1le or ls1 front brakes now....

 

talk to Ed Miller (www.flynbye.com) for all things brakes. I put his 13" Willwood kit on my car with stock 16" wheels and they perform like a dream. I now have the utmost confidence in my brakes, and before I had none.

 

im goin to check that site out....

 

This is the kit I used: http://www.flynbye.com/catalog/i18.html
I think the $515 one is the same thing but without the calipers, pads, and possibly rotors.
It's well worth it; you spend piles of money to make it fast, so it's smart to do the brakes right, or else it's all for naught.
Either way, get a hold of Ed before you make a final decision (be patient, he's a busy man). He knows his stuff and there are plenty of other guys who will vouch for his work.

 

No way will those fit lace wheels

 

Ed makes a comparable set to the 13" Wilwoods for the GTA wheels. I think they use 12" rotors instead of the 13s but you get the same FSL calipers. Ed makes the kit especially for the GTA so you know they fit. Ed is the man.
