One and done LS1 front upgrade
I am starting to look to upgrade the front brakes I have a 89 formula and want to get all I need at one place. I have searched and found some spots but with a range of prices. Where is a good place that have a full kit as I will not be able to modify anything. Thanks

NAPA has all the parts except for the mounting brackets, and the only "modifying" you'll need to to involves hacking off the stock caliper mounting ears from your spindle and drilling/tapping the dust shield mounting holes for bigger bolts..

Get a hold of 87IROC350, I believe that he offers a set up and is on the brake boards quite often. Very polite and informative guy.

+1 for Scott. Stand up guy and provides a very good kit. Just finished the install on my brothers car last weekend and it is a night and day different.
