Muscle Car Brake Upgrades: How to Design, Select, and Install
Are you looking to upgrade the brakes on your Camaro? If so, make sure to grab a copy of this book! Featuring awesome details on how to select, install, and calibrate aftermarket brake systems for your Camaro. While other books cover all types of brake systems, this volume specifically covers muscle cars. As a result, you will have a car with brakes on par with the handling and horsepower of modified cars today.
Muscle cars are meant to be driven aggressively, and our braking system needs to match the performance of the drivetrain. This book will help guide you through upgrading your brakes from the technology of the 60's and 70's.
The fundamentals of system design, operation, and component function are clearly explained so you understand all principles, equipment, and available kits. With this knowledge, you can select the best brake system for your car and application. However, selecting the right equipment is just the first step. This book delivers detailed step-by-step instructions and photos so you can confidently install an aftermarket brake system, even such kits from Wilwood, Baer, and others on a variety of muscle cars. Covers aftermarket brake conversions for factory size 14- to 15-inch wheels as well as installs for 16- to 20-inch wheels. You are shown how to select individual components and install master cylinders, steel-braided brake lines, calipers, rotors, and proportioning valves. Whether you're driving a high-performance street, Pro Touring, autocross, drag racing, or road racing car, these brake system installs dramatically increase performance and safety.
