Upgrading brakes

[terminatethis]

I’m currently looking at upgrading my brakes. Just wondering what everyone is using for a big brake kit in the front and what you are also using in the rear. Thanks for your help.

Are you upgrading for looks or stopping power?

if for looks, the most cost effective is the gt500 swap. search fully torqued racing.

if for stopping power, look into pads first. I recommend carbotech. I run 13" cobra R brembos with carbotech XP10/12s upfront and stock rears with XP8/10 and it will make my full weight 03 stop in a hurry.

going to >13" brakes up front could result in wheel offset issues

Well I run 18” rims now anyway

Leave the rear brakes stock with the exception of braided brake lines. I put Stop Tech 13" front brakes on my '04 with Porterfield R4 pads and braided lines. 13" front brakes fit on the Terminator.
