Has anyone upgraded their brakes?
 

Since I put 18"s on I can definately tell the car doesn't stop as well.

Talking of brakes, does anyone have brakes that whine like crazy no matter how you try to stop. I don't feel like there is anything wrong with my stopping power, they just whine. Any suggestions?

Seems like it should be braking better with better tires. What kind of tires did you get? Are they wider? Good tires are important to braking performance also.

Afixer put GT take offs on his.

the wheel is bigger and heavier so it is harder for the stock brakes to stop them.

http://www.saleen.com/SC101_Services...9-2602-C11745* is for one wheel or two? Are there any cheaper places for the takeoff brakes?

I've searched high and low, Saleen is the cheapest I have seen them.

The Saleen price is for both front calipers, as well as the rotors (the rear brakes are the same between the GT and V6)

I just installed the GT brake parts on mine (from Saleen) it's a pretty easy install, and makes a difference. You're not going to find another brake upgrade for less than $100 (short of better pads)

One thing to be wary of, if you order from Saleen, make a fuss with the person taking the order about seeing they're properly packed. They sent mine TWICE with all the rotors and calipers just tossed loose in a box. You can imagine what was left of the calipers after being slammed around with the heavy rotors all the way across the US...)

It's also a good time to consider aftermarket pads as long as the calipers are off (I went with Morse ceramics)

Are the Gt takeoff Brakes a really big difference from the V6 brakes?
