Default IS THIS A DEAL... OR SCAM???

Hi guys... and girls,
As many of you read... I'm doing the brake thing on my rebuild. So many choices that I am not sure I need... SSBC Force 10 are sweet, but I need them? I saw this on ebay.... waste of money? They look like stock with slots.... HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP decisions.... are killing me....

Are you going to autocross or road race the car? If not I would personally spend my money on other things that would make the car more enjoyable to drive, like wheels/tires or more power! :steering:

Yes, I will need to put my hubs on the rotors. They are not riveted, so no big deal. I looked at them because I need new rotors anyway. Stock rotors are $60 each so doing the math…. $240 for front and rear. This set up would cost $260. I have read slotted are better and for $20 extra I could put them on the car. I am always cautious about deals that are too good… especially on Ebay. I was just curious if anyone has had experience with slotted rotors and what caliper and pad should I use.

Also, I won’t be auto crossing the car… but I do drive it like it is stolen. If ya can’t rip a Muncie 4spd… You shouldn’t be driving a Corvette… HAHAHAHHAH
:crazy: :lol: :reddevil

ask Gkull what he is running....he races in constant speeds at 160 or 180mph. So I would think he has a nice stopping system... :eek:

Check with Bear Brakes systems.. I have used them before and they are good bang for the buck brakes, you can do a mild upgrade or go all out.

THat way you can get what you NEED and not have to worry about other peoples problems as they will be new. :cheers:
