What is the best front disc brake upgrade for the second generation Trans Am? I plan to retain the 15x7 Honeycombs on my '71 but would like to use 2 piston calipers. All responses are apreciated.

Since you want to retain the 15" wheels, you are limited to the disc size. I would check out Global West. They offer a 4 piston caliper and various disc sizes to fit whatever wheel (even 14's) and they will bolt up to your stock spindle.

You might also check out Baer Racing at 602-233-1411. They have a SS/Drag version with 12-in. front rotors for 15-in. wheels feature PBR calipers. With the bolt-in kit you will also get about a 20 lb.weight savings.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
