Brakes question
I am rebuilding my 78 Vette, and have not decided which way to go as far as brakes are concerned. I have the HydraBoost system for it, and plan to use the stainless steel brake lines.
Should I use stock, drilled, or slotted discs?
What about calipers, are the stock Corvette calipers with stainless sleeves & O rings just as good as other aftermarket calipers?
Thanks!

I HIGHLY recomend the willwood superlyte four piston calipers, theyre EXTREMLY light, work like a dream, and look badazz, the only problem is that you need a special bracket to put them on. I got my brackets from 427v8. As for the rotors i suggest slotted. :cheers:

Your rotor choice depends on two things:
What do you plan to use the car for?
and
Do you just want them because the look cool?
