I have been reading and looking (in the search) all over the forums for the options on front brake upgrades. I've known about the BMW calipers for along time. I would like to know whats really availible as upgrades. I know there are also some really wild ones if you have a 911 front end.

Here's my problem, I have a stock '73 front end. It has been converted to 5-lug (drilled stock rotors). I have been throwing front pads at it about every 4months (not bad at only 14 bucks a set). But I am tired of Band-aiding it. I would like to run vented rotors in the front (I have vented for the rear, also 5-lug, to run with spacers and stock calipers). I'm not woried about any mods or machinework (occupation). So I just need to know what parts to get togther to do this. And OH... under 300 bucks (hopefully).
