Brake job Options

Found 7th gen calipers at the junk yard off a gt not gts anyone has the brake caliper specs? And also what rotors and brake lines and pads I should invest in I need brakes soon that's why I'm tuning up suspension and brakes for track event comin up

As far as I know a GT and GT-S from 2000-onward have the same caliper, as far as pads you can find those easily by looking but the caliper brackets, hubs and possibly other things may not fit our cars, if you already bought it then see whats what but otherwise research it to make sure its possible to fit those style calipers on our cars. But honestly our GT's have a fairly good brake system as it stands, just get a good set of quality rotors and some quality ceramic pads to match. If you want better brake feel use steel braided brake lines and DOT4 brake fluid for a higher temp range. A good set of Tires go a long way in helping cars brake as well

Thanks I appreciate it. Any good brake rotor brands and pads?

Thanks I appreciate it. Any good brake rotor brands and pads?

well Raybestos, Brembo, EBC, Wagner and stoptech all make pretty good rotors and pads for our cars, Rockauto has a huge list of brake parts for our cars you should give them a look see

Did you check to make sure they will fit our car? I've never seen anyone use the 7th calipers before..

We were talking about our gen brakes and reason why I asked cuz i saw some in the junk yard

[mkernz22]

So you drive a 7th gen?

I'm just a little confused lol

[mi645]

No I drive a 6 gen but I found a 7th gen with the brakes at junk yard

Check the info in the stickies. If I recall correctly, the 7th gen brakes are a slight upgrade and are relatively easy to swap out.

135$ for drilled Brembo discs for the front is that even worth it? 6 gen

[Galcobar]

Skip the drilling. It used to have some function, but with modern pad chemical formulae it's pointless on cars (motorcycles are a different story) and drilling a cast piece creates points of potential failure.

Simple proof: how many F1, Indycar or other top racing series do you see with drilled or slotted rotors.

Good to know reason I asked cuz I found brembo blanks 100$ and 135 for the crossed drilled. But anyways ideas on why discs to get for front and rear? I drive the car on tr street and some canyons but I plan on hitting a track event soon so I'm looking for brakes pads lines rotors etc.
