Big Brake Upgrade (front) compared to rear disc swap (PERFORMANCE ONLY)
If you want the biggest increase in performance for your $.....
Upgrade your brake pads, master cylinder to 15/16, flush your system and use some good brakefluid. Motul 600RBF is my fluid of choice for my street car and racecar. If there is any "mush" left in the pedal, try upgrading to stainless lines.
Most won't heed this advice and will go with the bling of a 11"+ upgrade, hell...I have ITR setup on my 4th gen HB street car, but honestly I am considering ditching it so I can run 14" wheels.
P.S. Performance wise, I have had better luck with the rear drums then the rear disc. The pad on a drum covers more surface area then the ones on a disc. Drums are also lighter......
The only benefit from going to rear disc IMO is ease of replacing brake pads and looks.
