SFC or LS1 brake up grade?

Which ones would you go with?

It is a vert so SFC would be good. But where would I get them for verts and how much?

On the other hand as a daily the bigger brakes would be good too.

Thoughts???

I also have a convertible. and while the stock brakes are not the best I am going to do the sfc before I do the brakes. I was going to do the kenny brown double diamond sfc's because I want to do some road racing with it. They and alot of others are available at tbyrne motorsports.

I am almost completely sure that the Verts came with Sub Frame Connectors from the factory, safety reasons of course. Look underneath and find out. If you are road racing, get the brake upgrade, otherwise, put more performance on it, don't waste it on ricer stuff..... Ricer stuff I mean handling more than Speed....

Save up and get them both!

If you are considering both right now, i'm sure at some point you'll end up getting them both in the future.

However the SFC are cheaper overall.

The factory SFC is an X bolted up but looks useless. I'll look into the DD. I'm sure it will help.

SLP doesn't have a SFC for verts.

I may plan to do it SFCs and brakes together anyway since I'll be bolting up my new rear with 1LE LCAs.

I just wanted to know who did what first and what did the most.

I've done both. I'd do SFCs first.

I'd do SFC's first, no question.... BMR weld-ins or the double-diamonds, weld-in.
