Brakes and Suspension Questions

[82oldskid]

I'm looking for a good complete suspension package and braking system for my 1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. As far as suspension, I've come across a complete kit made by Performance Suspension... Heres the link, check it out...

Now, as for brakes, I'm having difficulty. Does anyone know of a good brake kit that would work for me? Looking for all the way around, a complete braking system. I already got stainless lines for it. Any help would be great. My whole plan is to completely rebuild this car, from the frame up. I bought a new frame for my car, had it sandblasted, primed, and painted, and now I want to get all the suspension put on so its ready to go, so all I'll have to do is transplant my body onto the new frame. So, if you can help, thanks in advance!!!

seems like you have lots of $$$ to invest ......

as for brakes conversion ,there is so many possibilies that if you do search on the net you migh find your prefernces

personnaly i went for a b body brakes conversion (cheap ,effective ) combined with a dropped suspension and UB machine upper a arms ( no bumpsters)

some go for LS1 brake conversion
do a search on google youll find alot of suggestions
and many memebers here will give you there own advice ,,,pick the one that suits you

i wouldn't buy that kit. if they want $2500 they should give you all high quality parts. but they use kyb shocks which are cheap crap. plus, for handling, shocks are incredibly important. they don't have a complete kit, but they can put one together for you at http://www.scandc.com/products.htm this is all assuming that you want extremly good handling. if you don't then i wouldn't bother with front lower control arms, or anything more than an offset cross shaft upper arm.
as for brakes, again assuming high performance, you can have LS series brakes modified to fir the stock spindles, willwood makes a kit, or you can get AFX or f-body spindles and mount corvette c5/6 brakes. for the rear there aren't alot of options for upgrades as g-bodies use a weird rear axle flange.
