Brakes?

I am looking for a set of Uprated Ft Brakes for my 1990 T2? What is a good set up?

I am on a Buget as Christmas is coming up and have about $1000?

I use it for Track days and Hill Climbs.

Thanks.

wow, you must do some pretty serious braking cuz those stock 4 piston calipers are pretty good! just do a search for a brake kit in google or somthign. I think i saw a kit that used either wilwood superlights or DLs

what exactly is the defenition of a hill climb. I have many books that have british authors and they always refer to hill climbs. I never hear that term in the states.

Basically they close off a road leading up a mountain, put workers out at regular intervals, and send u up the mountain, best time in your class wins... Considering the fact that you're pushing very very hard with cliffs (sometimes) very near the road, I don't do them
