Era brakes Upgrade

[Dangerous Doug]

I used the SSBC part as defined by Bob above. I used a Camaro SS brake line kit that matched the SSBC coverage on Summit. No bias issues, and no change to the master cylinder either. I'm very happy with this change, and the brakes feel quite safe and confident.

It's a good, cost-effective upgrade that is sufficient for the street. I also upgraded my reservoirs from the tin cans to a nice aluminum set from Wilwood, which looks nice.

Cheers,
DD

Dave - I would be interested in hearing your feed back after you install the SSBC brakes. Sounds like Doug is a fan. I might consider the upgrade too if it's a perceivable improvement.

This will most probably end up as part of this winter projects.

I have the front Wilwood 4 piston calipers, Rotors, and mounting brackets supplied by ERA. The car originally had six pins and 8000 miles when we pulled them.

PM if interested

I will be checking it out. This Camaro SS brake line kit, I thought you went with braided?
Got any pics of the new Wilwood cans. The single reservoir that is on my car scares the crap out of me every time I look at it. To me it is not separate brake systems as I have read in the manual. All I know is if for example I spring a leak in the rear brake line line, I will lose my front brakes and my clutch because it is all sharing the same fluid. That will leave me stranded on the side on the road (no clutch or brakes), or smashed up! That is almost the same thins as the single master cylinder set up on my old 55 Chevy!
The separate cans would isolate each system for sure.
