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...

Brake upgrades
(by Daryl M, started: 02-18-2021, last post: 2021-02-23 17:52:33 CET)
When you all consider brake upgrades, how often is unsprung weight considered? It would seem that going from small, relatively light disks to 12 or 13 inch vented rotors would add a bunch of weight.

(by RotrexFiero, started: 12-17-2021, last post: 2021-12-27 19:50:38 CET)
Well, I have all the components for the above rear brake upgrade, except the discs. What year/model car discs do I need.I remember there being a write up or some documentation but can't find anything. I purchased the calipers, and also the brackets. I remember I didnt move on it because it required...

Cadi/lebaron brake upgrade not holding pressure.
(by sactodreamer, started: 03-09-2015, last post: 2015-03-10 02:07:23 CET)
I took my car to get the brakes bled today (it was there for other work also) and they told me the system wasn't holding the pressure. No fluid leaks, but the pressure didn't hold.

My DoubleC4 '84-'87 Corvette Brake Upgrade
(by thesameguy, started: 11-05-2013, last post: 2013-11-19 20:57:43 CET)
The process starts easily enough - remove the wheel and caliper. If you have not done it before, you will *probably* want to drill out the rivet that holds the brake hose to the upper a-arm. It's not explicitly necessary, but it's helpful for a number of reasons. Once that's done, remove the old...

87 front brake hub upgrade questionz
(by lordbg0205, started: 10-15-2015, last post: 2015-10-16 05:40:59 CEST)
So for a long time i have always wanted to do a corvette rotor and 88 caliper upgrade, its pretty cheap, looks good, etc. The only thing that stops me from doing this is the fact that the wheels will now stick out further from the fenders i have read here several times around 10mm. Can anbody...

$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...

Scion FR-S rotors, anyone looked into them for brake upgrades
(by Bridgetown, started: 07-28-2013, last post: 2013-07-29 00:15:49 CEST)
http://www.rockauto.com/m/m...sk8mntgh15o8o9doolo2The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ have a 5x100 bolt pattern, I thought they might have some rotors that could be used by Fiero owners looking for a brake upgrade. Here is a link to some specs on the rotors. Could these work on a Fiero?

Using c4 calipers instead of 88 calipers with Haus of Guru 84-87 brake upgrade kit
(by flimbob, started: 09-18-2014, last post: 2022-01-16 19:29:52 CET)
I purchased bmwguru's front bracket kit for 84-87 earlier this year. This kit utilizes 88 front calipers with c4 12" rotors. There were several posts in the original thread related to the differences in weight of the c4 calipers as opposed to the 88 calipers(...
