Question ERA Brakes Upgrade??

Bob,

I have ERA # 463 - 15" pin drives............am wanting to know if ya'll have a brake upgrade for my car.

I often feel like I don't have enough stopping power...........really have to stand on the pedal if I need to make a panic stop.

Any advice/options from ERA or even after market products that would make this situation more comfortable when driving.

You can update to the optional 12.2" rotors and Sierra calipers. It will require some modifications to your front uprights or replacement by our custom uprights.

Default Brake Upgrade

I put the SSBC calipers for a Camero upgrade on my FIA. Seems to stop good at the track days. Only problem I have is heat build up in the rear with the std ERA brakes and solid Jag rotors.

ERA's big brake option has my vote. Had them done when my car was built and have been very pleased with it's stopping power.
