Administrators steve k. Posted December 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2020 There are several Big Brake kits possible for your car. If you are not sure what you have, take some photos and post them here. People will know what have. This article describes the most common Big Brake upgrade. Sorry, no photos steve k.

Highnote1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Is this a simple bolt on upgrade? These are low prices. Is it much of an improvement? I have a 76. Edited December 31, 2020 by Highnote1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp5Touring Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Mine are similar to OP. Mine are on a 73 2002 with tii struts and tii front caliper is my understanding. Let me know if that doesn't look like a tii caliper. No idea what the rotor is from. Is vented and is Balo brand. Ideas ? Will read the above article.
