1 gen. brake differences

[firebird400]

I have been looking at the available aftermarket disk brakes for my 1968 Pontiac Firebird and all I have found are brakes for the Camaro

Are there different brakes on the two makes ?
I did not think so !

Also, since Im new to this sport, is there one brand of aftermarket brakes that have a better reputation than the next.

"The Baer Claw® SERIOUS STREET" is the one I have found so far.

I am only running the tiny 15 in. wheels so ;)

Any other product you can point out to me ?

I had bought some slotted rotors from SSBC to replace my stock ones, along with a set of their pads, new stock calipers and stainless braided lines. That's one route.

The baer serious street kit would probably work pretty well. But you should check out the C5 kits from Touring Classics and/or Kore3. They're proven setups. Edit: But they won't work with 15's so nevermind on that one.

My car stopped fairly well with the stock stuff and braided lines, it probably would have worked even a little better had I gotten a chance to use the SSBC stuff. Instead I went crazy buying baer and C5 stuff so don't need it now. I'll sell it all if you're interested ;)

Here's the SSBC kit.

Thanks

You pointed my in the right direction, I´v found a few kits for the Firebird now, but only a few.

I have found loads of kits for the 67-69 Camaro though, a car I thought had the same brakes as mine :/

The application charts list kits and parts for 1970 Firebirds and up in most cases, and Camaros from 1967, weird !

How much do want for your stuff and what is it exactly that you got :D
