AC Delco lines are cheap enough (@$12 each on Rockauto). What kind of calipers and pads do yall recommend? Looks like Delco sells a caliper/hardware/semi metallic pad set, but from what I've heard Delco isn't what it used to be, and these might just be the same crap Chinese parts in a fancy Delco box.
Suggestions?

Buy your parts @ a local place that has a warranty on your purchase. No reason to purchase online for wearable items unless you're just looking @ initial purchase price.
For brake stuff, I like Raybestos & Wagner products & use them when possible. Otherwise, house brand w/the best warranty offered.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
