Brake Upgrade Help- 67 Chevelle

[DrewM]

Hi folks,
I've done a lot of searching and much of the information is somewhat dated so I'm looking for more current info/help.
I have a 1967 with with a 502 (a little over 500hp/500tq at the crank) and a five speed. The car has factory front disc and rear drum brakes with a 7" booster. I have a relatively large cam and very little vacuum so braking has been an issue. Decent stopping but basically a manual brake feel, and inconsistent. The bigger issue is that I am upgrading to 20" wheels in the rear and 19" in the front. So, I am going to go to a four wheel disc setup. I have looked at Wilwood, Baer, Kore3 and others. Up to this point, the car has been 100% street and will probably stay that way. Suspension is pretty stock side from sway bars although it might be slightly lower. Obviously, these calipers/rotors will be very visible so appearance is important. Also, I'd like to do away with the 7" booster as it seems to be pretty useless, and ugly. I have looked at ABS Electronic Brake Boosters as well which seems to be a nice setup.
So, do any of you have experience/input on which complete systems would work well? I do not want a manual brake setup but don't really want to go hydroboost setup either. Will a wilwood m/c itself be enough? Is the ABS booster a good choice? What is the best combination of rotor size and piston count? Budget is always important but I'm willing to pay for the right system. I'd also love some feedback from those that have only a wilwood or Baer m/c with no booster about stopping power and pedal feel compared to a full assist system.
Thank you all in advance.

Talk to Tobin At Kore3. He knows brakes. I have his c6 brakes on front and 2002 camaro disc on back. I have a 8" power booster. It's like the mc and booster that Detroit speed sales. Tobin can lead you in the right direction. It will all depend on your vacuum. I have ls1 engine in my 66 Chevelle. I hope this helps.

Id go with a manual brake, no matter which aftermarket brake kit you do. The right MC size will feel not much different than a boosted setup.

Thanks guys

I'm running a 7/8" Wilwood MC manual with C6 Z06 brakes front and rear and I have no complaints at all. Talk to Tobin at Kore3 but I would recommend one of his C6 brake kits and then buy wheels just big enough to fit the brakes. IMO, nothing screams poser more than huge wheels with wimpy brakes. There has been a lot of discussion on big diameter wheels and how the bigger the diameter the heavier the wheels are.

So what would that make me if I kept the drums in the rear and just painted them red? Haha
Thanks. I'll call Tobin
