okay, so i bought my SS brake lines, and will save them until i have money for a brake system overhaul. which brings me to the point of which stuff to upgrade to. i'm only doing this b/c i'm sure the pads need changing and i'm sure the old rotors have been worn (the brakes feel mushy and make strange crunching noise, but they do work).



either way, all i want to upgrade are pads and rotors. which ones should i get? i was noticing the bonez for $140 a peice, with a choice between x-drilled and slotted. which one is better?

x-drilled is bad, they will crack eventually. its 70's technology. go for either stock or slotted

It depends on what you want to do with the car.

If you only drive on the street and you want a little bling or do a few auto-x’s a year the cross-drilled are fine.

If you do a lot of track days or Solo trails you will want slotted or solid rotors and some better pads.

I am running Power slot rotors and Hawk HP+ pads.

I love this setup. I can feel my eyes about to pop out of my head under hard braking.

But, the Hawk HP+ brake pads squeal and dust like a MF'er.

In almost every case, stock rotors with upgraded pads are fine. If you're running around Laguna Seca, you may want to upgrade the rotors. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

the k2rd its car runs stock pads, and rotors https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Ok, so if you run around LS you don't have to change the rotors...you win. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

You can run stock parts, if you dont want to run fast lap times. Trust me stock pads on stock rotors will fade very fast on a track.

they win enduros with the car. better pads would help their laptimes though
