Planning on upgrading my breaks on my 64 Impala and was considering cpp break kit but was hoping for some advice on them and other disc breaks.

I do plan on someday getting into Autocross so I would really like to know if the cpp would be enough stopping power for that .

CPP and "break", classic Freudian slip?

I'll let others chime in on personal experiences, but mine have just been Chinese parts with some questionable quality. I certainly wouldn't trust them with the hard braking Auto-x requires.

Autocross does not put much demand on the braking system. Both the stock disc brakes and the CPP brakes will have enough thermal capacity to maintain good stopping characteristics during an autocross (even with normal brake pads that have a low maximum operating temperature. I'd still suggest a mild performance pad like a Hawk HPS.)


Lukewarm, does your car already have front disc brakes or not? The biggest change you'll feel and enjoy is getting rid of front drum brakes. If you are upgrading to front discs, you'll want to be sure your kit gets the master cylinder volume and brake proportioning right.

I'll pass on cpp pos break, save a little more and get willwood or Baer set up. I bought a big break kit from them and it didn't work for me specially the one for the rear. I sent the calipers twice in my expense for service to find out what's wrong with them knowing they were bad batch and they sent me new ones but I have to pay 25% restocking fee plus shipping, this happens twice!! Then finally I thought I got it figured out then the mpcpv master cylinder bullcrap was sucking air cos they forgot to put a rubber oring where you you adjust pressure from front to rear. they blame me for not checking them before I started adjusting the valve.

I paid almost 2gs for the kit with all the bull**** options they have. I sold it for $450 locally and the guy that bought it also had hardtime figuring out so he ended selling just The 4 rotors and break pads for desame price he paid me. search online how pos they are and cpp customer service is the worst ever!

Take a look at Kore3, he should be able to get you an affordable setup that will have plenty of stopping power.
