use the baer track 4 in the front and the ss4+ in the rear. that gives you 4 piston calipers and 13" rotors all the way around with a nice parking brake for not much more than the 6 piston fronts alone.

bear, kore3 or touring classics all use PBR based calipers.. oem design and roadworthy.. willwood and other race bread brakes are great for show and limited use cars, but dont have dustboots etc... ( i dont care how any people chime in and flame me with how they work great on their pt cars.. willwood is not a durable solution)

my vote is with one of the above 3 first (i have touring classics front and bear rear) ... brembo also have some big stuff for continuous road use.. but are mucho dinerro and need custom bracketry

C6 Z06 brakes front and rear are the best brakes for the money. Kore3 has all the brackets for you to get them hooked up. You can get them from Kore3, ebay or your local GM parts department.

That simply is not true. We dailey drive Wilwood equiped cars for years now. In Florida it rains almost everyday on the way home, it is dusty as hell other days. We have not hasd a single caliper failure, not one and have been running them for 5 and 6 years now.

I totally, absolutely, 100% agree with this statement, especially about Wilwoods. Not bashing, but Wilwoods are not all that. Now Baer on the other hand is a different story. I 've had both and know from personal experience. I was about to explode after having Wilwoods on my truck for 6 months.
