Default Brake System Upgrade??

Hey guys....I just changed the brake pad on my 93 LS but there still some kind of noise coming out from the brake. Not sure if it's the pad, caliper or rotor....So I am thinking upgrade the whole thing. What kind of stock brake system is on the 93 LS model? Is the caliper single piston? And what aftermarket brake manufactures can I choose from? I know there are Rod Millen, Brembo and AP Racing. Thanks~~~~

This should fit on your LS no problem. The ONLY catch is that you have to use at LEAST 17" GS wheel (the 5-spokers) or any other 17" wheel that clears the stock GS brake setup. Most (if not all) aftermarket "high disk" setups should work fine also.

The kit we are selling is the "front only" setup which will be 2 rotors, 2 calipers, a set of pads, and a pair of steel braided lines. Everything you need for a front big brake upgrade.

If you look around, companies like Brembo (which doesn't offer a 6-piston at all...only 4-piston) and AP Racing (6-piston) do NOT come with rear brakes either.

However, for people who have bought this kit, we are going to offer a special deal on a set of rear stock size rotors (cross drilled and slotted), matching rear pads (matching the front pads), and steel lines. Similar to the group buy that happened a while back.

The "special" deal on the rear setup (NO PRICES AS OF YET) will be ONLY for buyers of this Wilwood setup and those who are PAID MEMBERS. We will sell the setup at the "normal" price for anyone else.

Also, the first 20 sets of this deal (at the special prices) IS ONLY OPEN TO PAID MEMBERS. NON PAID MEMBERS will either need to join or they can pay the regular price of $1995.

But that isn't much of a problem as the first 20 slots are nearly full (only a couple of spaces left)...anyone who has decided to join in the early bird group that drops out will be replaced by the next person in line (so the first 10 are locked up solid).
