Default '95 Rear brake upgrade?

It's time to do wheel bearings and brakes in the rear and the search doesn't seem to be working, so....

What's a good upgrade for rotors and pads in the rear? Powerstop? Stillen? and where to get them? What about rebuilding/upgrading the calipers?

Thanks,
Jay

Go with either hawks or EBC all around. Flush with new fluid.

Do you track the car at all, or do you daily drive???????

Depending on the mileage it might be worht while to rebuild the calipers.

I was preparing to do this to my 95 also, and bought a set of C5 front and rear calipers before I found out that by using the C5 rear caliper you have to disconnect the emergency brake. Personally I don't want to sacrifice my emergency brake, so when I upgrade my fronts I will probably reuse my stock rears. Baer does make an Eradispeed rotor for both the front and rear, not positive about the others. Good luck :chevy
