From the good old days before summit racing, and credit cards.
That power stop stuff from summit is pretty nice. Even if you stay with stock size rotors, calipers, the pads have a good bite.
Hell, you could probably make a nice upgrade just by adding hawk pads, new rubber lines, and good fluid, with a fresh flush, and bleed. Keep the rears adjusted , and you will always have a firm pedal.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure there's some other GM car that's got bigger brakes where you could swap some parts.

Here's a thread on the el camino forum for guys that are going bigger than you probably want or need to go, but it's similar.

Was there an "SS" in '86? If so, you may be able to swap parts with one of those (or hell, buy new parts and still make out cheaper than aftermarket.
