Is there a kit for 14" wheels that uses 2 piston calipers - at least in the front? Or could you just put a 2 piston caliper on an 11" disc? I'm trying to get a decent brake on the front that I can upgrade when I can afford bigger rims for my 68 firebird.
Thanks

Oooh, thats a small area to be stuffing calipers. You may find some race calipers that are 2 piston but they are race only and the rotors are pretty small for your application. When you are dealing with performance brakes, for the street, the rotor is what will dictate the need for multiple piston calipers. They are usually very large rotors so multi piston calipers can be taken advantage of, more swept area to clamp to. JR

Thanks. I'm going with a C5 set up now. It didn't make sense to go with small brakes just to go with an old look I still like.
