Suggestions for a upgrade on brakes?

slowf10m5 · 08-08-2017, 04:16 AM

So I wanna eventually upgrade my brakes as my power goes up currently I am pushing around 650WHP and 750ish to the crank on 91 pump gas. I plan to send in my turbos to pure turbos to get it re built to stage 2, e85 gas and upgrading my clutch to handle the power, my question is are the current brakes strong enough to handle all that power if not what BBK kits should I be looking at for an upgrade from stock?

I havent' seen many folks upgrade their brakes, and quite a few on here are pushing some serious power. I think maybe with some better pads you'd be fine

Unless you track your car heavily, upgrading the brake system is not necessary. If you want better stopping power, pads and tires. A " bigger" brake upgrade won't help you stop better.

Also, you can't run full e85, unless you upgrade the high pressure fuel pump

Thanks for the knowledge guys I guess I don't need to upgrade my brakes just the pads lol more money for me to spend on other mods lol.
