I have seen a lot of brake work done here on this site and I was wondering what the best setup was...... I would like to keep the brakes/rotors themselves as light a possible and still have immense stopping power.
Also I have the Ocelot brake lines from TFS and the stock brakes right now. I love how light the stock brakes are, but will they hold up for autocross or a track day? or do I need to invest sooner? also take into account my goal weight of the car finished is 2200lbs ish
If its pre 88, do the "grand am upgrade" to use vented rotors then get EBC brake pads. You could also get their grand am rotors too if you got the cash to spend. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/121696.html
The Grand Am calipers are iron... not a good choice for weight added.
If you used the aluminum Wilwood calipers with the usual brackets and 11.25" LeBaron rotors, you could probably limit the weight gain to be the same as the Grand Am swap, but have a much better result.
Anywhere Wilwood products are sold... Summit, for example.
They're not listed for the Fiero. They're listed for th 3rd Gen Camaro. Because the 3rd Gen calipers are used with LeBaron rotors in the typical 11.25" upgrade, the Wilwood calipers will also work.
Thanks Will! I have seen two guys on cardomain with Willwood brakes and I was wondering how they got them to fit. Now I know the secret. Have you done this brake swap or has anyone else? Is there anything I need to watch out for?
