Frontend Rebuild
Since I have deceided to rebuild the front end is there a kit to put larger rotors on the stock spindles? Would the benefits justify the extra cost? Will my current stock wheels work? My brakes, tho adaquate still suck!..

Re: Frontend Rebuild (SprintCarDriver)
If you feel your brakes suck install the hydraboost system and remove that brass block/distribution block/proportioning valve. I have a hydraboost from the wreckers $50 , 4 stainless stock calipers, no brass block and excellent brakes. Forgot I also run organic pads to save the rotors.
My brakes are far better then my wife's new SSEI Supercharged Bonneville.
My brakes were an embarrassment when i let people drive my car. Not anymore . Now I have to warn them to take it easy the first time until they get use to the power.
