    alright guys, i need brakes. i wanna do the 12 inch upgrade. i should be able to get 12 inch rotors and use my stock calipers right? and what about the brake pads? do i use the same brake pads? does anyone know how i can get 12 inch rotors besides off of zzp?

    now fuel injector. i notice ppl put injectors that push more pounds. is that a big hp boost and does it hurt gas mileage? my fuel injector in cylinder 2 is so bad that its making my car run like crap really bad and i'm not sure what i wanna do. i dont wanna spend a lot of money. my car is stock besides a cold air. i'm sure running only one injector that pushes more pounds is bad right? `a stock injector is like 75 bucks and i'm broke and slightly cheap. if anyone could answer those questions that would be great. thanks guys

    only point in new injectors is if you need more fuel.

    if you dont need it, its a waste.

    if you're stock, you have quite a bit of headroom with the stock injectors.

    you'll need the larger caliper brackets as well, yes stock pads work.

    Try zzperformance.com

    they have some stock injectors for pretty cheap compared to other aftermarket.

    what would i need more fuel for?

    and bummer, i was hoping i could just get the 12 inch rotors and get away with that. i dont wanna have to buy new brackets too. would the stock calipers be able to bolt up to the new brackets?

    more fuel if your engine flows well enough to require it.

    If it were me...I'd be cruisin to the local junkyard. Injectors are $5 and caliper brackets...lol maybe $10 for the pair.

    Do your homework and find out what these parts come off. Why line a vendors pockets and pay shipping when these pieces can be had cheaper and quicker locally?

    I got F body brakes shipped from Florida with brackets etc for $60, then added rotors and pads of my choice.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
