Default Replace Sock Calipers

first modification in mind is replacing the stock calipers (front/rear) with any of these...stoptech/wilwood etc. any ideas or recommendation.

thanks

I have been considering the same thing but you have to be aware that it does not appear to be a straightforward exercise if you wish to continue to use your OEM wheels. And presumably because of liabliity issues the vendors are not completely helpful. I have asked many whether the aftemarket calipers which they sell will work with OEM wheels and have never got a straight answer from any of them - yes or no. As a result you are sort of left trying to figure it out for yourself. There is a forum on the site dealing with wheel/brake issues that you should have a look at before you go running off half-cocked.

I have a used Rotora BBK for sale at $900 with the stainless Steel brake lines. You will need new pads.

The BBK is great looking and helpful to keep your brakes from heating up too much.
