Ok...so I still have drums on all four corners of my SS and I would like to make the switch to front discs. here's the dilmena. I would really like to go with a nice set of 13" cross drilled baer brakes or something similar but I have 14" rallies on it right now. Eventually I would like to have at least 18" rims on all corners (20" in the back if I can figure out how). I can't afford to go spend $3000-$4000 on rims and tires right now so that's not an option. It seems like a shame to spend the money on a smaller set of discs just to have to switch the calipers, spindles and rotors later. What do you guys think my best option is? Should I just live with the squeky drums for now?

I have seen mention of a possible up coming group purchase from Baer.

I have seen, mention that a Team Chevelle member is a Baer brakes dealer.

I know I'll be watching the suspension and brake forum a little closer over the next month or so.

Its only my opinion, but I think 17" wheels are plenty big enough. But I live in PA. the birthplace of the pothole.
