Caliper up-grade for stock size rotors?
#1
![Question](https://www.camaroz28.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Is there such a thing out there? I would like to up-grade the stock single piston calipers on my 94Z with maybe a 4 piston but still keep my stock size rotors. I've just installed new drilled, slotted, and zinc plated rotors. Does Wilwood, Baer, or Brembo make such an animal?
Thanks.

I've never heard of it, but that doesn't mean it's not out there. Why would you want to upgrade the caliper but not the rotor? You're not going to see a noticeable change in stopping power with just a new caliper. Upgrade to the LS1 front brakes and you'll notice a difference. The rotor is slightly bigger and it's a dual piston. To me it makes sense to upgrade the rotor too, seeing it's only a couple more dollars compared to the calipers.

If there is an upgrade it would be a waste of money time, money, and effort since you'll still have small rotors that are easier to over heat with the added clamping force which will induce fade faster.
If you want better braking with stock rotors, flush with fresh performance fluid (I like ATE Superblue) and run some performance pads.
