Default brake upgrade???

hey all i am upgrading my engine so i thought i might aswell upgrade the stopping power. what do you guys suggest. i will have a 11 sc car so i am goignt o need something to help stop this. i am not looking to spend thousands on this upgrade but not cheap out completely. i would like to run 15x3.5" rims up front and 15x8-10" out back. so i dont know if i will be able to fit much under them rims without clearanace issues.

but all oppinions welcome, thanks

there is no point in upgrading your brakes, if your downgrading your tires...

your front tires are the majority of your stopping power... however

i agree with adder. if ur gonna run 3.5's in the front dont plan on stopping the same day. the stock front on foxes (which we all kno suck) are more than those tiny tire can handle. and in the rain those things are even worse. if its on the street, and this is just my suggestion, i would run a better/bigger front tire.
