    Brakes for P-bodies that don't suck?

    Since Hawk doesn't sell brake pads for my 88 csxt anymore what choice do I have for brake pads? I understand that you can use neon srt pads on the rear but what about the front? Does the Neon srt bracket and rotors bolt to our knuckle? I'm getting tired of looking for brake pads that can handle some serious heat from high speeds and back roads. I'm certainly not against a nice set of noisy, dirty race pads.

    If you go to later knuckles you can run the later 11" brakes which rbryant sells the good pads for still. They're inexpensive too.

    So... I have a parts car that's a 94, does that mean all I have to do is swap the knuckle over and brake caliper and I'm good to go? Are the piston sizes different between 88 and 91 style?

    Carbotech and Porterfield can sell you some serious pad compound.

    You'll need the 91+ knuckle. Then you'll need the big brake caliper bracket and caliper. Those are cheap on rockauto.com.

    Which car has the big brake caliper and bracket? Spirit? Does it mention 11" in the description?

    Spirit R/Ts and Iroc R/Ts are the best bet.
