Default SSBC Brakes

Anyone use these brakes or know of SSBC? Do they make quality brakes? Considering their front brake kit. Not a 14" rotor but they have 3 piston calipers for just over a grand after rebates might be worth it just don't have any experience with them.

I don't think that kit is worth the money, unless you're just going for looks. It looks like an OEM style sliding caliper that just has an extra piston. The stock brakes will already lock the tires up so there's no need for extra braking power.

You'd probably be better off spending a few hundred on stainless braided lines and better pads. Otherwise save up and get something with a legitimate fixed caliper (Brembo, StopTech, etc.)

Excellent products. George is very cool to deal with. SSBC brakes have been featured on a lot of MM&FF project cars over the last 15 years.
