with regards to brakes my suggestion on a budget is to fit brakes from a 98 up f-body, can be had cheaply on ebay.. you need to do some brackets up front, and clock them in the rear.. but again not impossible by far
thanks.. like i said i have an entire 4th gen brake setup in my shop.. so that will be the route i take.. and i do have access to a lathe and press.. im still gonna check out the afco line i might save me some time.. the brackets up front that you speak of: i printed off a template i found on i think it was pozziracing.com or something like that.. i had a 6" reference liine on it so you can print it out, make sure it measures 6" and cut it out.. i think its the right plate.. if not it wont be that hard to figure out what i need.. the main problem i face is that the car is my daily driver and id like any mods i do to be a weekend job..
