73-87 Big brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was wondering if anyone makes big brakes for these years.Something like 13 inch rotors or bigger 4 or 6 piston calipers front and back.

Stock or dropped spindles? Look at SSBC or CPP as the two "bolt on" options.

SSBC looks nice the rear are kinda small.CPP only has up to a 72?I did find kore3.com but i have no clue which spindles we have.

McGaughy's also has a nice setup. I am working on a way to put C5 fronts on for cheap, just haven't had time to fool with it lately...

McGaughys, CPP, KORE-3, SSBC, & BAER brakes.

Got any info on McGaughy's set up? KORE-3 has the rears but nothing for the front unless i change spindles on it.

KORE-3's set up allows you to modify your own spindles vs. paying for another set (unless something has changed).

Their 2-piston kits are pricy..... I bet their 6-piston set-up won't be one of those better 'bang for the buck' purchases.

I emailed KORE-3 they said they have kits for the front and the rear but no parking brake tho.The 2 piston baer are pbr same thing the cobra mustang uses.

I have a 6-piston 14" for my '68 Chevy from Baer. Got it back in Septemeber I think, and it will still be at least another month before I can try it out
