Question Brake Options

Looking to upgrade the brakes on my 96gts. Lots of options out there but am considering either Roe's Front kit and Big Dave's kit out back with Roe's rotors.
Or should i just go with stock srt parts and Dave' s kit all the way?

Tom's rear 40mm upgrade is a nice complement to stock or Stoptech fronts. Another option...

I thought for the $$ the Roe kit for the front with some other rear combo would be the best choice.

If you think you know best then why the #@!$ are you asking for advice? Go get whatever you've already made your mind up on then!

Just trying to gauge what others have done. I haven't made my mind up yet.
Isn't there value in light weight rotors compared to stock ? Not trying to be an a$$

You asked for advice and then shunned the advice given. Go over to the MORGE and try the SEARCH button. then come back and tell us what you've found!

Dave's kit ir reasonable priced and you can get 2 pc rotors for them if you want to.
2 pc rotors save about 10lbs per corner but they are roughly $225 per rotor. With Dave's kit you can use the Stock Gen 3 calipers (Brembo) which are reasonably priced and easly to rebuild. Using the same caliper on all 4 corners has it's advantages so youcan rotate pads if neessary and you only have to carry 1 type of spare. Good luck.
