4th gen brake recommendation
« on: May 26, 2024, 08:23:31 PM »
My brakes are shuddering a bit on hard deceleration. My mechanic said no sense working on the existing as I should upgrade rotors and. Calipers. Any suggestions on good ones for the car? I just want some quality units and upgrades but don’t do any really aggressive driving.

Thanks.

I think you need a new mechanic.  The stick 4th gen stuff is pretty darn good as it is. My 79 is all stock 4th gen and I love them. I drive my 1998, I thought they were great on that car too.

If your calipers are in good shape and have no issues; I'd just put new stock rotors on with a set of performance pads on it. There are several brands out there. Some offer pads and rotors together that use the stock calipers.
