Full/partial Brake Swap

JCHT79 · 04-02-2005, 01:30 AM

It's time for me 2 replace my brake pads in my car! What would be a good set of pads 2 switch 2? I'm also thinking about doing a full brake kit swap what would be the best alternative, price doesn't really matter.

I used Performance Friction Carbon Metallic brake pads that I bought from Parts For your Car. I put RSM slotted rotors on the front and Pep Boys stock replacements on the back. I have awesome braking now. Do I dare say that my Alero can now out brake my RX-7?

I have carbon metallic pads as well with crossdrilled and sloted rotors. The stopping power is amazing. at 60 MPH it took me about 3 sec to stop the car maybe less. very good pads and rotors. Think I spent 130 on the pads and 250 on the rotors.

Thanks for the input! I'm going to check my local parts stores...Oh what about new brake lines as well, any suggestions?

unless you have a big brake kit i wouldnt worry about the lines... if you do change them, go for SS lines.
