Once you're at that point just upgrade the wheels to 17's. You can find 17's in a similar style to your wheels. They're basically just a mesh pattern not bowling ball hubcap wheels like KITT. And if you're worried about resale value just save the stock parts and reinstall if need be.

Once you feel a set of REAL brakes it's tough to go back. My 87 had a stock carb'd 305 and was slow as balls but with the big brakes, zo6 wheels/wide tires, and some suspension tweaks it was a blast to drive.

it seems they change the site again. it looks I have to call them to find out how much they are and what it fits.
i am not worried about the resale value. I just like the look of the 15 inch rims

upgrading the brakes would most likely increase the value of the car
