88 Brakes are underwhelming, even after significant upgrades
(by Mike85k, started: 06-20-2026, last post: 2026-07-17 17:57:03 CEST)
Hi All, The first thing I noticed when I first bought this car last year was how bad the brakes are, after reading it sounds like consensus is that 88 brakes should be pretty good. So I started changing and upgrading parts to try to see where I can get, here's an overview of what I have done so...

Upgrade to LED 3rd Brake light
(by fierosound, started: 08-19-2022, last post: 2025-07-26 14:48:20 CEST)
For this upgrade, you want the 12V RED 42 LED panel - Dimensions: 127mm x 28mm(White LEDs will look Pink when shining through a Red lens)https://www.ebay.ca/itm/253816257643It's almost a perfect fit, but 2 of the corners need to be filed down slightly. I used an angle grinder with worn out flap...

How would someone go about doing a brake upgrade in 2023?
(by Additivewalnut, started: 11-30-2023, last post: 2023-12-01 18:26:16 CET)
Worth mentioning before getting into all of this, I am trying to autocross this car, whether or not the car actually will be competitive is not in question, I know it probably isn't and I don't really care. I love this car and I wanna have a good SAFE time. My front brakes are ~30 years old and...

Easiest brake booster upgrade?
(by bmyers, started: 10-04-2023, last post: 2023-10-07 15:58:29 CEST)
For an '86 GT, is there a bolt-in brake booster upgrade available? I've read about using a booster from an S-10 but are mods needed? I drive the car sparingly and I do not race it so is the upgrade even worth it? Thanks.

$100 brake upgrade
(by Phil, started: 04-04-2006, last post: 2023-09-13 14:09:51 CEST)
As some of the folks from the chat room and at Daytona already know, I stumbled upon a cheap and effective brake upgrade. There is also a writup of this in the current Fiero Pride newsletter. Although I've only done this on a 88 I see no reason why it wouldn't work for any year Fiero. While I had...

88 Brake rotor upgrade
(by rglasco101, started: 05-24-2023, last post: 2023-05-27 18:04:54 CEST)
Came across an old thread talking about brake upgrade on the 88 to use the vette rotors, but I am unable to find the brackets, who has them or does someone have the drawings to make them?"On the 88's you just need the caliper bracket to shift the stock rotor outboard, the concentric rings and the...

Grand Am Brake Upgrade
(by steinke_andy, started: 04-15-2012, last post: 2022-11-02 01:30:42 CET)
The title is pretty generic so that this can be easily found when searching. My brother and I did the Grand Am brake upgrade between yesterday and today. Prior to us starting we did our research and found most of the information that we were looking for. There were however a couple questions...

Newer brake technology in upgrading our brake system.
(by DefenderMG23, started: 06-14-2022, last post: 2022-06-16 15:16:57 CEST)
I am thinking about upgrading the brake system on my 86 Fiero. Hydro boosts is what I am about to research. Since I am doing the 3800sc swap wouldn’t this work as well as the some of the things brake upgrades that are being done or have been done in the past? I am putting the question out to...

Basic '84 brake upgrade
(by Chris_B_84se, started: 04-19-2022, last post: 2022-04-22 15:44:57 CEST)
So it's just about time to do a brake job on my '84, I've noticed lately with just city driving that I'm having a lot of pedal travel and having to really stand in to stop at a light. This has raised the idea of doing some upgrades. I've read some posts about the S10 booster/ M.C upgrade but have...
