r8rs4lf Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I'm thinking about doing a brake upgrade soon and I kind of wanted something different since ALOT of people did the Baer brakes. What do you guys think of SSBC? Front kit $1425.00 Rear kit $1395.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Thats a nice set up. I know the SSBC does not like drilled rotors they feel they are weak and crack over long period. I dont know that I would pay that much for standard caliper brakes. I would look into calipers with opposing pistons for the money. I have not seen anyone do the Brembos you may want to give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 the price is what lead me to the baer's. those ssbs will give you almost the exact same thing the baers will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Here is the Brembo Catalog in PDF. go to page #9 and look at the options. I dont know the price but I would say it would cost $5k for the Brembos (thats each axle). I have a friend with a Porche and her car brakes great they use a Brembo design as do the new Ferrari's If I was going with the SSBC. I would get the Force 10 kit. They have a kit for our trucks and I like their rotors better than Baers. Remember 20" or larger wheels need the brake upgrades.

BLUEBYUSS Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I found the Brembo kit on the Lingenfelter site, they are not cheep.I wanna get them soooo bad.

Jonmalibuss Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 do you need to change all around,are just convert rears. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My VHO is an 05 and it came with rear drums I did the baer conversion and it works great. You would need to upgrade the front to keep your braking correctly porportioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I got a couple prices on SSBC and Willwod. I now see why everyone goes with the BAER set up! They are alot cheaper than everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have them by mid next week, but I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to get them installed. I wanted them because they are different then what you normally see. I'll let you guys know how they turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
