upgrades? open 2 suggestions on brakes 4 starters
hi everyone, i hav posted here b4. asking questions on problems and some of u were very helpful. thx .
i bought my camaro bone stock, besides a small slp package that came w/ the car when new.
i hav so many questions and could use some advise.
1. what 2 upgrade first?
the car has 17 thousand miles on her. so i don't want 2 do stupid mods at this time.
like braking is on my mind, only cause the car has sat for 5 years. the rotors hav some uneven wear. i want 2 show the car @ cruises and such. so i was thinking a larger rotor 13" i think will clear the 17" stock rims?
now do i go w/ a Baer system? Wildwood or Brembo. i also thought maybe saving some money and using a used pair from a C-5 Corvette. has anyone heard of this?
i would appreciate any feed back on anything 2 make this machine a monster. thx
mayb i'll post another thread on another subject like headers, exhaust, and programmers

well there is a sticky theard for where to start modding that will let you know all you need to know and its tons of help on figuring out which setup is best for you. Best way to start i the cold air and headers, but i figure if you have the slp setup you have the slp box so you should be set on the intake side. Not to sure about the breaks man, I kinda like the looks of perferated brake discs, I would imagine that 13" rotors would fit, not sure though.

You can't just put 13" rotors on the car, you'd have to get calipers brackets and then the calipers themselfs are what you would want to be clear the wheel. Which I don't think they would on 17" rims. But there are some low profile calipers that the company's you mentioned have that might. That's a lot of money for any of those kits. You could also look at SSB brakes, they are a little less expensive and more for street driving. There is a kit out there that will let you use the C6 vette calipers, I'm not sure where to get it, but I've sure a search will bring it up for you.

thx guys 4 ur responses. i really appreciate ur time 2 help me out. weeda i definately want headers, i just don't no enough about them. like playing w/ the air flow. short, long, fat, or skinny. i like all types of women like this, both my car needs the right ones. ha ha...
green arrow, i will look @ the SSB corp. it sounds like that is what i need. i mean i'm not taking this 2 the strip. i just want an upgraded system that looks good at the car cruises. this is for my 97 ss LT1 thx. again guys

i like the looks of the wildwoods and the vette stye cleans up nice. u replace the front spindle (if thats what they call em still) that adapts it for the vette style. ls clean up nice. i think u have to chage the same part with these but not sure.
