Im upgrading to disk brakes and need to know what parts to get with a budget of
For the disc brakes = try www.p-s-t. com, they will list what you need. For your $ 500 budget - good luck, I think you'll need about 2K. Hope this helps. You may want to try salvage yards, to keep your costs down
Double your budget. Good kits cost over that amount.
Cobbling together junkyard parts is not the answer. New OEM or good aftermarket parts only.
Brakes are not something to 'save' a couple of pennies out of.
Coming from someone with a four wheel disc Trans Am and a rear drum Trans Am of that same vintage, I can tell you there is very little difference in real world stopping that you'll feel.
