Mint Euro92 Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 wow, I like, mabye Ill get some. Did u paint ur calipers black at one time, mine look rustier then that, hmm.No I didnt paint the calipers but this vehicle never saw snow or ice or salted roads & was garage kept until last june, And its in South Florida now . It has only 50k on the clock & I only use it as my 3rd vehicle so it doesnt get much use . The rotors are from JCWhitney & the pads I bought at PEP boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 The rotors are from JCWhitney & the pads I bought at PEP boys Do you happen to have a part number and price for those? :shock: I need front rotors BAD and may as well get something like that. I have a feeling it will wined up costing the same as solid ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 very nice i have a set of '96 CS front strut/knuckles in my trunk waiting to go in, but i still need to get some rotors and pads, struts, along with new balljoints and tierod ends. i've done the '94+ rear brake upgrade, but didn't feel much of an improvement over the way it was. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed Reviews :? , it said it will take 500 miles to break-in so I went easy on them, but they did stop OK ... old pads were about shot so it's good I replaced them anyway. How long did yours take to break-in , or did you ? I didn't won't warp the rotors by getting them to hot to fast ... I torqued the bolts to 100 lbs like the book said -- :shock: How did yours do right after the install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
