Not worth the money IMO. I'm getting some PowerSlot slotted rotors. Less than $400 for all 4 whereas the big brake kit I saw was about 2-3k just for the front..
Anyways heres an Endless kit and I think Rotora..

and another..even has the 6 piston kit major overkill though.

ya..

one thing that i noticed first when i bought my 88 TII was the size of the calipers are HUGE! and their mounted at the back rather then the front... (true sports car styles )


if U think ur brakes are weak.. check out the system first.. bleed the system, and check how much meat is left on ur rotors... and don't use crappy aftermarket brake pads


if that's still not enough... like mentioned before, get some power slot rotors and some "racing" brake pads.. Axxis, Greenstuff, or any other leading brand...

and if ur only goin for the "bling" factor of those fancy Red or gold brake calipers just use some high temp paint on urs

The brake system on my 20b fc felt very solid. I had oem calipers, oem rotors, and oem brake lines with greddy sports pads and an endless brake stop. When I put my car back together i'll get some sloted rotors and ss brake lines with some good fluid. I don't plane on wasting money on my car in areas that aern't needed.
