Euro Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Not to piss on everyones parade but why do we need 13" brakes? 99% of our cars (mine included) braking systems exceed the amount of power our engines can put out anyway... Save your money and modify your engine... then you MAY require bigger brakes! Personally, I would consider w-body brakes to be almost dangerous. I think that is ASININE. My brakes stop really well. Maybe it's just that whole 1st Gen thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Maybe it's just that whole 1st Gen thing... Yes. My old Z was really terrible in this department. I would consider my new GP to be marginal to decent in this department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prolly because you haven't been in many cars that have very good braking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 My car brakes better than ALOT of the different cars/trucks Ive driven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 My Lumina doesn't stop very well at all...you can push the pedal to the floor and it won't lock the tires. I think one of the cup seals in the master is leaking ,but it's not bad enough yet for me to want to replace it, as bad as that sounds.

Addicted To Boost Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 My 89 GP SE without ABS will lock up all 4 wheels and stops fairly quickly, but its not even close to how good the TGP PMIII ABS brakes are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah..I honestly don't think the vacuum booster on the first gens was large enough...I am pretty sure mine works pretty good and very rarely do I feel there is fantastic assist. My engine might be not creating enough vacuum though..not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancho Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 i dont know, im pretty satisfied with my brakes on this car, concidering that i owned a Crown Vic twice previously (didnt learn my lesson the first time...lol) These brakes are pretty decient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 so what year 13" mustang rotors are you guys talking about? cause i'll go buy one and make caliper brackets for whatever calipers i want to use and then sell a kit. i have some aluminum wilwood GMIII calipers that can fit the huge police package caprice pads that weigh 2# tops. how about a 12" rotor to fit - late model W body? my girlfriend's mom has an 03 monte which looks like 12" brakes under the factory 16" wheels, i need to clear my crosslaces because i'm not giving them up. even one with a tad deeper hat to get things inboard a little for different wheels to clear.

93CutlassSupreme Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah..I honestly don't think the vacuum booster on the first gens was large enough...I am pretty sure mine works pretty good and very rarely do I feel there is fantastic assist. My engine might be not creating enough vacuum though..not sure. It's the weak booster. Doesn't provide enough assist. A weak booster combined with multi-piston calipers isn't exactly a great combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
