13/14" Big Brakes for My "Z"
I am looking at putting a set of Wilwood's Big brakes with 13" front and 14" rear rotors. I would like your opinion of this setup? Do you think I would have pretty good braking power with this arrangement?

No, it's the set I mentioned. I am getting the 14" set for the rear from a member on the forum. I will be getting the 13" fronts from somewhere else. Both sets are slotted and drilled. I got a great great deal for the rears and went for it. I figure being rear wheel drive would make it a good setup also; you think?

During braking weight transfers to the front tires of the vehicle. The main braking force is generated by the front brakes. The front and rear brakes have to have the correct bias to work correctly. You should only install a balanced brake system. What your doing could be dangerous and result in erratic handling.

I am looking at trying to find a good front kit with 14" rotors at a descent price that will not break the bank; going 14' on all four or dropping the 14" kit and going 13" all around. That should work, right? I appreciate all comments. I think that is what this forum is for; to help each other out new to the process of up grading to improve your "Z."
