SSBC Brake Kit: Whoa to Go
We were hoping to upgrade all the brakes at the same time, but prior tothe swap, our front wheel bearings began making noise. Well, wouldn'tyou know the noise progressively became worse, until it felt as if thefront wheel was going to come off. Checking out the spindle showed thething was toasted--literally. We limped the car back to our tech shop,and Tech Editor--sorry, Senior Tech Editor--Mark Houlahan swapped outthe fronts with the SSBC front kit. We were lucky the SSBC parts werealready in our possession because the spindle definitely neededreplacing. Even with just the SSBC brakes up front and the stock drumsout back, braking power was greatly improved. But with the Falken18-inch wheels up front and 15-inch Weld Draglites out back, we weren'texactly pimpin' it--more like bulldoggin' it, as we say in the South.
