IS two grand really worth it for larger front disc brakes and a rear conversion kit?

wow thats pricey ... not really worth it imo they dont make you stop any better if the tires you are using cannot grip the road in order to stop

 

I got the tires on the way with 17's

 

huh i dunno dude that price is hurting my eyes. why not just stay the same size just better breaks?

 

i didnt look but i take it these are slotted and cross drilled... for 2k you can purchase a baer breaking system.... then when you break you will fly right out your windshield !

 

Converting from drums to discs usually isn't cheap, but 2 grand does seem a bit pricey...

 

that looks like ther sell cheaper then some of our vendors

 

It's 2 g's for brakes in all four corners. Im switching to EBC pads soon Yellow Stuff

 

that is a better price. better than gravana last time i looked.... only thing is to convert the rears to disc you need to up the front too so you will need them all at once... correct me if im wrong, but i know most cars work that way... i think theyd look sweet behind my black 18's

 

The link says 895.00...

 

The front is already disc...unless you mean to replace the rotors and calipers as well when converting the rear.

 

The kit is worth it.....although that price doesnt include powdercoating......When calling I would ask the best price they can do it for, because they CAN sell it to you for less, ask to speak with bill caito as he's one of the coolest sales people we have at work.....If not shoot me a PM and Ill see what I can do to help you out. I checked inventory at work tonight and for some reason we have 16 sets of 4 lug cobalt rotors and we haven't sold alot of them so Id say they'd be willing to sell them a bit cheaper.....and they are just slotted and zinc plated, not cross drilled. If he asks anything just tell him Chris from shipping told you.

 

From what ive been told cross drilled really weakens the rotors so if theyre not thats perfectly fine

 

2 grand is the total for both kits the front upgrade plus the rear conversion.

 

hell I paid 2g's for my 4 piston front conversion and rear upgraded rotors/pads for my SRT-4, you want to play you got to pay!

Stop, it makes my struts hop, lol it stops sooo hard! lol

 

Exactly.

I personally have heard nothing but good things about SSBC. Baer is only one name remember. Now I won't say they are the same as Baer brakes, but they are still good nonetheless. So for a full conversion kit, $2000 is not a bad price at all.

So to answer if they are worth it or not, is really up to you.
What do you plan on using your car for?

Show or go?
AutoX or drag?

If it is mainly for looks and a little more street performance, than I think there are cheaper ways to put disk brakes on your car.

 

AutoX and Downhill racing

 

u want to go fast u better be able to brake. 2k thats actually cheap, a camaro front brake kit costs almost 2k for a good one, honestly i wouldnt go ssbc, go stoptech, brembo, or baer, and dare i say it wilwood.

 

Well just so you know we sell SSBC and can get them to you a bit cheaper than direct
