Brakes & Brake Systems

More power demands more stopping ability. A brake system that can't match your engine output isn't just a performance liability — it's a safety issue. Whether you're upgrading a classic drum brake setup to modern disc, building a track-capable street machine, or sourcing replacement components for a daily driver, this collection covers the full brake system from master cylinder to caliper. Featuring Baer Brake Systems and Wilwood Brakes alongside a comprehensive selection of brake components, this is where serious builds get their stopping power sorted.

Big brake kits are the definitive upgrade for high-performance street and track applications. Larger rotors increase thermal mass and leverage, reducing fade under repeated hard stops. Multi-piston calipers deliver more clamping force with better modulation than OEM single-piston units. Baer and Wilwood both offer application-specific big brake kits engineered for direct fitment on popular muscle car, truck, and performance platforms — no guesswork, no fabrication required on supported applications.

Calipers are available in OEM-replacement and performance configurations. Wilwood's forged billet and aluminum calipers are a benchmark in the industry — lightweight, thermally efficient, and available in a range of piston counts and bore sizes to match rotor diameter and pad compound. Baer's calipers are engineered as part of complete system packages, ensuring caliper, rotor, and pad are matched for optimal performance from the first stop.

Rotors range from OEM-spec replacement units to slotted, drilled, and two-piece floating designs for performance applications. Slotted rotors improve pad degassing and bite under hard use. Drilled rotors reduce unsprung weight and improve heat dissipation. Two-piece floating rotors — an aluminum hat with a steel friction ring — are the choice for serious track builds where thermal management and weight savings are critical.

Master cylinders, brake boosters, proportioning valves, brake lines, and hardware complete the system. A properly sized master cylinder is critical for pedal feel and system pressure — mismatched master cylinder bore size is a common cause of poor pedal response after caliper upgrades. Adjustable proportioning valves allow front-to-rear brake bias tuning, essential on vehicles with non-stock weight distribution or mixed brake configurations.

This collection serves street rods, muscle cars, pro-touring builds, track cars, custom trucks, and daily drivers across a wide range of domestic and import platforms. Drum-to-disc conversion kits are available for classic vehicles still running factory drum brakes front or rear.

Big brake kit installations are bolt-on on supported applications and typically require a full afternoon in the shop. Master cylinder and booster swaps vary in complexity depending on the vehicle. Any brake system work should be followed by a thorough bleed, pedal feel verification, and a controlled break-in procedure before aggressive use.
