The Brakes question

[BlueMeanie]

So i am looking to upgrade brakes (among other things) i will have either 22" or 24" rims and tires as well

I was looking at these for the rear, they have a 16" rotor with 6 pistons

on the front i was thinking, they have a 11.75" rotor with 4 pistons

is this okay or do both rotor have to be the same size??

For your vehicle, you can only do the 16" or 14" fronts, and the 14" rear.

The ones you have listed, are for different bolt patterns.

I guess i should have asked the question like this....do i have to have the same size rotor on the front as i do the rear? if i do 14.25 on the rear can i do 11.75" rotors on the front??

 

[JennaBear]

Your larger rotors should be on the front, as that is where you need the stopping power. You can do 14.25" in the rear, but the smallest fronts you can do with Wilwoods is 14.25" as well.

Definetly put the big boys in front. As Jenna stated, that is where you need the most stopping power.

I am going ot need to revamp my brake idea then I was not planning on spending 4500 on brakes

LOL- Wilwoods are going to be in the $4K range depending on the set up. Hard to go on the cheap with them!

my budget for all my upgrades was 5k...i need to figure something out

If you didn't want to go with a BBK, you could swap out the fronts and rears for well under $800.
