Ive got brembo blanks, hawk hps pads and who knows what kinda fluid with stock hoses.
The SS braided lines do make a difference, it reduces the line from expanding in diameter, = greater braking force. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

Just get some rotors at autopart store, save yourself a ton of money its not like your cars gonna fly 200MPH down the road or something and you need to brake on a dime or your gonna hit a baby deer.
Pads roughly $120 for F and R with Creamic pads Rotors around $200 for F and R. Calipers around $100 for both front Caliper for both rear $150 It breaks down to quite a bit, but I doubt you need to replace your calipers or your brake lines unless there leaking like no tomorrow or they have locked up. I just did my front brakes this last weekend and it costed me only $30 for new rotors for my front, because my Pads were lifetime so I just got another set for free (Ceramic pads) and the guy forgot to charge me for 1 rotor so I basically got 1 rotor for free. Overall I spent 30 bucks and got new brakes for the front. |

I have Brembo blanks much like most people on here and am waiting for the arrival of my Hawk Ceramics. I looked at HPS but I wanted something with lower dust.

I'm not sure if its just me, but this forum structure really seems to have a weak search feature. IMO of course. I did look, trust me anyone have any great places to find all this stuff? Ive checkd places like tirerack and autopartswarehouse. anywhere else u guys know about? -------------------- The question is not how far.

How do the OEM pads and rotors compare? I'm close to needing some myself and I already need some stuff from 1sttoyotaparts.com.

Rotors it would be a close call...But Brembo is known for being Top notch in the industry.
pads, they will be far better than OEM This post has been edited by playr158: Sep 2, 2009 - 11:59 AM |
