jeffz34 Posted October 15, 2002 Report Share Posted October 15, 2002 Well my brake upgrade is finally finished. I have the 94 rear setup with crossdirilled rotors and generic pads. And I have the 96 front setup with crossdrilled rotors and kvr performance pads. The brakes arent even broke in yet but I can already notice a significant difference. Ive had the rears on for a while but I just did the front last night and the difference is quite respectable. I just cant wait till the pads are worn in fully and I can realy test em out. I also cut a quarter coil out of my lowering springs and it lowered it zero inches. I measured before and after the measurements were almost exactly the same both times. Maybe Ill cut more away later. I did notice the ride is a little bit stiffer though. I guess I just cut out a soft spot that doesnt affect ride height too much. I also changed out the front rubber brake lines while I was tearing the z apart. The old lines were looking a lil rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffz34 Posted October 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Oh, btw I have my old rotors if anyone is interested. They are crossdrilled, I got em from RSM. They are in great condition, only about 5000 miles on them and they worked well I just wanted the best possible on my car. But if anyone wants em Ill let em go for $75 plus the cost of shipping them. I paid about $200 for them. Make me an offer theyre just sitting in my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
