So I was lucky enough to score some Baer calipers for a good price. I also bought a set of drilled and slotted rotors from a forum vendor. Enjoy the bling.

Along the same lines......I upgraded my wheels on my 84 from the factory 16" to 17" ..........is it worth upgrading the rotors and calipers as well?? I am not very satisfied with the stopping power. I really doubt I could lock the wheels up if i had to. I have replaced the master and had the pads replaced with ceramics. It helped a little. Is the gain vs expense worth it??
