Sick of old brakes

[Pro3racer]

This is the 3rd time i've had brake problems on this car, so to settle the issue i have decided to change everything, get rid of everything but the lines and go all aftermarket and new(DSM factory stuff aint cutting for me). I'm still going to use regular rotors(since everything else is just cheese graters and for show cars), but i want nice pads(almost sure i'm going with EBC green stuff pads), but when it comes to new calipers i'm confused. I can't seem to find regular brembo calipers. I don't need a big brake setup, i really only want a stock replacement caliper, but made by someone that knows what there doing, and wilwood and baer are pretty expensive. Any idea what i could go with for my caliper choices. I'll also be switching to DOT5 fluid.

just go with the brake setup that came on the 93+ awd models. bigger rotors and 2 piston calipers. i just got some Porterfield rs4 pads for my galant and i love them.

so..are you saying just go to autozone(or like autozone) and ask for factory calipers but from 93 and up? That will be simple, i just need brand new stuff.

93 and up AWD models. use 93-94 so they match your brake hoses.

The 93+ dual piston calipers and a good set of pads like the Porterfield R4-S front and rear will get the job done for just about anything short of track days.

Most autoparts stores don't sell the brackets along with the capliers and you need the brackets to make the upgrade work. These calipers are used on several cars so read the Big Brake VFAQ and then go junk yard shopping.

I really wish I had done this swap in 93.

i run hawk pads/brembo rotors, the hps street composite pads. best setup i've ever used. i also have the "big brakes"
