My car is in need of brakes and as much as I would love to do a Bembo upgrade its just way to expensive. What have some of you guys found that has a great improvement?
Thanks

thats what I was thinking. new pads, rotors, and maybe some SS lines and call it a day. Not a thing wrong with the brakes that come stock on the GT's....What's your budget? You'd be amazed how a fresh set of quality pads and a fluid change will improve the braking.

If your rotors are in good shape, 300 will get you HPS pads and a fluid flush with some change left. I'd start there.I'm a tight ass so I really don't want to go over 300
Thats debateable. In stock form, the GT brakes stop fine but have a quite soft pedal feel. I noticed it and Edmunds even stated this when the car first came out. That was one of the weak points of the car imo. I like my brake pedal much firmer and a fixed caliper design like camaro/ctsv/gxp brembos will provide that and it has for me. But even with camaro brembos on all 4 corners, it still doesnt feel as solid as my former 350Z track car that had Stoptechs in the front and stock brakes in the rear. The brake pedal feel in that car was spectacular. At the end od the day though, its a individual preference.Not a thing wrong with the brakes that come stock on the GT's....
This is what I would do first also. The SS brake lines might put you over your $300 budget but shouldn't be too much over.new pads, rotors, and maybe some SS lines and call it a day.
