Default Baer 6P on a C3

Came in possession of an 86 that has 14” Baer 6p’s front and rear with 500 miles on them. The car is trash other than the rims and brakes. Is the juice worth the squeeze to put them on my 1970?

That's something only you can decide, of course you'll have to factor in larger wheels if you already do have a set that will accommodate the larger setup.

I have no problem locking up the brakes with my 4-Piston Wilwoods, but if you are running the stock setup if maybe worth if you can justify the expense.
