Any experience with Summit Rotors and calipers?

One other thing, what about calipers like this:

The site says it'll fit a 79 salon but not a 79 cutlass... Are they taking considering the stock wheels (which I do not have)...

What about:

says universal. Sorry for all the noob questions... I rebuilt the brakes on my 69 cutlass, but that was about 10 years ago...

the first ones would be a good upgrade and should bolt right on your car but for the money you would still be better off witht he s10 brakes

the second one I have no idea about, I would think you would need some special brackets to make them work but they would be a really good upgrade even over the s10 brakes

Thanks for your help. I think I'm going to go for these:

The Stainless Steel Brakes are a nice upgrade. So is the S-10 Extreme brakes (which are also a dual piston caliper). The Extreme brakes could probably be had for less than the SSB kit...and you'll still have to buy rotors. You'll have to search around, or check EBay. I believe there's a guy in Florida that parts out S-10's. You might do better from a private individual or a local boneyard.

I will keep a look out for the s-10 pinchers... it's my understanding that I need to change the spindles though, which may be a dealbreaker.

the guy you are referring to in Florida eBay name is s10warehouse but he is kind of high on something so just check around if this is your intended route
