Performance Brake System with Big brake pads
I added 1,000 lbs of stereo equipment to my 2000 Monte carlo 3.8L. I upgraded the rear suspension and braking is ok. My 2010 Camaro stops really good and has big brake pads. On my monte, I want to upgrade front and rear disc brakes with bigger rotors and pads. Will probably need calipers too. Does anyone know what type I should use. I see 2000 monte carlo performance brakes on summit racing, but the rotors look small. Any suggestions?

Rears are always the hard part because of the e-brake set-up. But it isn't hard to swap out the front for an F-Body Caliper Swap for more bite, lighter calipers, and double the pistons.

F body calipers are good upgrade for the front

I read that most replace 11" with 12" rotors. Some got their stuff from a junk yard from a 98-99 camaro for the f-body calipers. Do you think all new is better?

I won't be getting bigger rims so I may not be able to go with larger rotors, so you think with the f-body calipers with two pistons and brackets and bolts, performance 12" rotors and performance big brake pads, that's all I'll need for the front and rears?

Used calipers are cheaper just make sure there not froze up, mine are used off a 02 SS & they clear 16s

What about calipers with four pistons? I've seen that on SPEED channel and would that be better than two pistons?

I'm sure with modifications you can run CTS-V calipers, but it will most likely require an 18" rim and other modifications. |
