Brake upgrades.
I'm just starting to get into the C3 looking to buy one in the next couple of months. And of course I have a MILLION questions. So here is one I know there are the Willwoods and there are the Baers wich interest me but the SSBC's have me a little confused..... Look at theses I'm sure most of you have seen these but is it me or are they just glorified factory calipers they look to even be the same pads.

So if I'm right they aren't too much of an improvement other than maybe the pistons.

The SSBC calipers are aluminum so you'll save a lot of weight.
I have have no personal experience with them but they sound good.
On the other hand you can buy a set of Wilwoods from Keith
and save more weight and save a lot of money...

I didn't realize his prices were so reasonable. Very interesting I wanna look at the Baers too the 6 pistons are sexy but prolly not worth the money for my wifes use. But I'm pretty sure the stock stuff won't stay on any car I buy/build.
