Ok time to replace my rusty, nasty, god awful, hideous, disgusting brakes now. Ok what would you do....
1. Front Rotors : Ebay cross drilled and slotted - zinc platted disc's & Kevlar pads Rear Rotors: Fensport standard rear disc & kevlar pads & braided steel brake lines 2. Just buy new stock discs and ceramic pads? maybe braided steel brake lines 3. What you would do........... This post has been edited by consalvochris: Dec 27, 2006 - 5:47 PM |

im not sure i trust he ebay rotors. i hear that they could crack easier because of the way there made, the drilled hole has to be part of the casting and not drilled out. i guess when u drill it out it puts the structural integrity out of wack. ill see if i can find the link.
id just get some stock rotors and good name pads. -------------------- |

I ordered some irotors.com drilled and slotted rotors with hawk HPS pads all around. I'm still waiting on the rotors to arrive, but when I get them and install them I'll let you know how they are.

I would definately buy from tirerack again, so consider them when you want to buy your brakes. -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
