Well that should help the car stop, however, I never really thought the 94+ style brakes were that bad.

Matt, your an idiot.

^^ The above statement is true.

[MonteCarloChick]

How the fuck am I a hippie?

[runt]

Wow. Thats cool. Although I think they are a bit overkill for your car, it's your money! (I say overkill b/c from 0-100 takes about a week and a half, so you wouldn't need to stop that quick. )

[Andrew]

Nice! I want slotted rotors for my car too, but like runt said, they would be overkill. They do look 100x better behind a set of rims than regular rotors do IMO.

[Robby1870]

Are you just doing the fronts?

[97loudcut]

no fronts and rears...just doing the fronts I think for winter though.

[5speedz34]

LMAO!!!!!

 

We can do them here, now that I have a clean garage.

 

It should only take us a few hours.

[Nick1234]

sweet. Keep us update on what youy get and how much it costed you

[97loudcut]

Well next is Bendix Cermaic pads that I get a discount on (from work) probably like $35 for the front set.

 

The rotors set me back a little over $100 so...

 

The whole front setup will be about $140.

Matt, your an idiot.

Oh, the irony.

Matt, your an idiot.

Oh, the irony.

 

 

At first, I was thinking "huh? ." Then it came to me, this is all coming from Mr. Legned.

[97loudcut]

Oh and BTW the big selling point on these, for me, was that they are machined with the drills in them. They didn't start off as regular rotors an then someone put holes in them.

Oh, the irony.

:lol:

 

Good job getting the casted drilled rotors. I'd consider getting some drilled/slotted ones, but I can't afford to go through pads every like 5,000 miles.

[Psych0matt]

I realized today that my brakes are tiny looking. but thats not saying much, behind 19's

Isn't that a myth that cross drilled eat pads?

[Nick1234]

woudnt better calipers help the car stop better and not the rotors and pads. Im assuming it is like 50/50. you need all three to make it work well.

Pretty much, but I think our small boosters and master cylinders couldn't keep up with larger calipers.

[Nick1234]

yea. I can't wait to get a car with better brakes. good thing for the warranty on the rears. i think they are starting to get stuck again. I can hear clicking at times when i hit the brakes.
