new brakes

Post by 92ss satinsvoice »

so its time for new brakes. ive only put about 13k miles on my car with new brakes when i bought it. but now there shot. ha ha.


so i bought a front set of Rotora slotted rotors with some PBR deluxe pads.

$249 total. i should get them this monday from HPF. hopfully i do because im driving around on just the plates 8) . and also that they will help some with my braking.

so ive had the brakes on for about 5 days. still have the cross hatching on the rotors so im waiting for that to wear down alittle more till i slam on them.

so far so good, have a little more bite for all i can tell right now.

Did you also lube up the sliders and change the brake fluid? That made a incredible difference with my brakes.
