rotors, pads, and ss brake lines Options

[LewFX]

i hear powerstop is good but whose got some and how do they compare with others?

i hear hawk is good but i think im leaning towards brembo pads since they the same price..

I'm probably buying these Hawk pads for the front and rear.

I still need to find a decent set of slotted rotors.

Thanks for the link BTW

slotted rotors linky: if you dont mind buying 170, im trying to talk this guy down, his lowest so far is 165 which is good since most poswerstop rotors go for 100 each on some websites if you can find them however they are the gold cross drilled and slotted.

I like those rotors but that guy is retarded. "1993-1998 Toyota Celica Supra's with Turbo" -

I want these: ATE PremiumOne Slotted from tirerack but they don't have the rears to match

For SS lines, i got the russel ones. They were $125CND or so, but good quality and easy to put in.

Good timing. I was planning on buying my brakes stuff this weekend.

Anyone have links for deals on good quality crossdrilled rotors ?

I am not an expert Jeff but everything I have read is that crossdrilled rotors are way overhyped and actually hurt braking. If I were buying new rotors, I would get OEM or regular brembos which are suppose to be good and reasonably priced.

[Defgeph]

I have read mixed reviews as well, some love them some hate them. One advantage, the heat dissipation is better with the cross drilled. My problem with OEM is I dont want rotors that are going to rust up on me. I guess the brembo OEM would'nt have that problem.

[LewFX]

im just looking for slotted, regular brembos are really cheap on nopi, although shipping is enh and wait time is lame

This place has some good prices on things. Cheapest price Ive seen for superblue and speedbleeders too. The bleeders on here are even cheaper than off the actual speedbleeder.com website (although they could be knockoffs...)

[LewFX]

[playr158]

Make sure those SS brake lines are DOT compliant. One of my friends got those ebay special SS lines and the lines ended up leaking like a mofo.

Brake fluid ATE Super Blue is some awesome stuff. I have literally a case sitting in my garage lol or if you can afford it Motul is also godly.

Hawk brake pads are good pads imho. Had some HPS's back in the day. Good bite and rotor wear as well as pretty low brake dust compared to oem. I also liked EBC Greenstuff pads with their almost non-existant brake dust generation.

[D_Dawg]

im intrested put me down

[Valo666]

im out cuz i need brakes ASAP.

[LewFX]

ahhh yeah, all set for a busy weekend:
new compressor

Thought ebay slotted rotors were crap?

I got Irotors drilled and slotted rotors. the first time they sent them to me it took like 2 weeks to get there, and they were rusted and looked spray painted. I contacted them, they seemed to have good customer service and they arranged for DHL to pick them up from my house. which they did. they said they were going to send me replacements. so I waited. and waited. and waited. finally after over a month of waiting and complaining, I finally got them. but when I did, I realized they were the same exact rotors, they just had been cleaned up a little. I could still see some traces of rust. Oh well, I put them on and they work great! (with Hawk HPS pads) but I can hear like a whirring sound from my back left wheel that speeds up as I speed up. I think it's the slots on my rotor against my pad.

moral of the story: Irotors rotors are cheap and work good, but I wouldn't ever buy from them again.

[stud97023]

What are the sizes for the front brake pads and the rear brakes sshoes on a 1994 ST ? I really need some new pads and rotors for the front. SO anyone have an idea on how big they are?
