What Brakes?

glass3222 · Nov 26, 2010

I am getting ready to upgrade my brakes (rotors and pads, front and rear) and want some input.

I am thinking of the following combos:

1. Brake Motive (ebay) cross drilled/slotted rotors with ceramic pads

2. PowerSlot Rotors with Hawk HPS pads

3. Brake Performance.com premium dimpled and slotted

4. EBC drilled and slotted with EBC GreenStuff pads

Have you looked at these yet? They have everything. I think Assassin was getting a set or two of these. Brake Performance

Nm, that was the link to your number 3. Your link isn't working though. I would go with them though. Seem pretty good, and resonably priced.

Have you checked out r1concepts.com? Not sure if they offer anything for us or not but I've got their slotted and drilled rotors on my wife's car and I loved them

I have no idea why my link quit working, oh well I think I fixed it.

Anyone else?

Not much choice up here in Canada unless you wanna pay freight from the USA so went with the best our Canadian Tire Franchise had.

Called ATE:

added some new OEm Calipers by TRW and some paint with Ceramic and voila. Looks good and after break-in the rotor surface of course becomes shiney, they rest stays nice with the special coating and it is said I won't get that 12K miles vibrating warp. I got these with a gift certificate from the Troops when I retired in Sept.

I like the Powerslot and Hawk Combo. You got some good choices there Rus!

I have persoanlly use Baers Big brake kit on a import (when i was into car tuning) Great brakes for sure.

I also used Powerslot. I had cross drilled slotted rotors from powerslot with ss brake lines and ceramis pads and they were very very good for the money. wither of those 2 and you cant loose I am sure

I know a lot of guys have been happy with the ebay set up.

I am leaning toward the dimpled and slotted from brakeperformance.com (#3). I was talking to a guy today that has a set of them on his cheby and said they are awesome. I saw them and they looked great. He has had them for over 2 years and has had no issues at all. Plus with them being dimpled and not drilled, I do not have to worry about them cracking and they have a lifetime warranty.

That thought crossed my mind, but I would also need the spindle and I am not sure if they work on a 4x4. Plus I have not found any for a reasonable price.
