Anyone using a Spohn 1LE kit ? Did it improve braking power ? My car is originally equipped with 4 wheel disc brakes, will it work ?

Just my opinion, but I don't think the small improvement is worth the cost. I would save up and purchase one of the bigger kits. In your case, I would get the Brembo's as parts availability should be good in your area.

 

Has anyone tried one of these kits? The price is right. Looks like an LS1 upgrade.

 

Well Brembo sounds good, but it is much more expensive and overhere you need permits for almost all of your modifications, which can be very expensive. Normally they offer parts for domestic cars, but not that much for imported ones. So I prefer stock looking stuff. What about swapping to a LS1 upgrade, will it work ? What about the cost compared to a Spohn for $ 850.--.
A dealer recommended just using the Hawk Ferro Carbon gives also an improvement for much less money. I wanted to get BAER brakes, but without a permit (which is not given from a US company, cuz you don't need, overhere it is the law) it will cost an additional cost of $ 4'000 -5'000 just for having the f****** permit. It is just stupid.

Sorry I missed installing the link. http://www.bigbrakeupgrade.com/ Look at this website it is an LS1 Kit for Third Gens. Price is right too.

 

Well, this looks pretty cool and price seems to be okay. I will contact them, thank you very much.

 

Sounds like a real pain. This LS kit would have GM part numbers that may help skirt that permit problem.
