Thinking of installing SSBC 2 piston calipers, 12" slotted rotors on a 72 Camaro with the 2" drop spindles all lones and bearings. Any feedback?? I can get the whole kit for $600

I was not happy with my SSBC calipers- no improvement over the stock units and not worth the $$$.

Hmm.. Kinda nice to some honest opinions. I dont have the CPP brakes, but they were a first runner for my consideration. I had to go with wilwood brakes due to fitment issues.

May be glad I did. Only 300 bucks more for the entire front system, and that was with custom zero offset brackets. The price for a stock brake system up front was only 1200 bucks, only 200 more than the CPP cast rotor/hat system that was a thou.

And IMO to get a cast rotor with aluminum hats and some really solid wilwood calipers with 100 dollar pads included for 200 buck more is a steal over the CPP brakes.

A thousand bucks for 13" CPP brakes seems kinda high. I dont see the performance to value there. Not knocking the performance of them, just the pricing. JR

The front 13" big brake kit from CPP including spindles is $799. Best bang for the buck IMO.
