need new brakes.. some input Options

[Digndoug]

I know this topic has been coverd over an over. I have read basicaly everything coverd in the last well close to two years.

Im going to need new brakes all around very soon. rotors are getting scored, pads are gone. I have now just the stock front disc an rear drum. I want some i can ride hard, but wont ware out as quick as some performance pads, also want to swap the rear to disc, and have never got a confermation on if the 5th gen gts rear disc will work or not. Any input is apreciated. Thanks

Doug

well really cant help you with the rear cause i haven't done that swap .. but for the front... in the pads i have found that work the best are the TRD pads... yea they are like 70 bucks but well worth its ..... and you can use the Oem disk ...

I switched to ceramic brake pads for my front and rear and love them, no squeaking and no brake dust. I feel that they also stop better than metallic but thats just my opinion. You should try them out. I forgot the company but they were about $40 for the front and like $35 for rear.

Rears are cosmetic. Fronts, although are pretty much cosmetic also... do increase the braking a little bit... (GT parts vs. ST parts)
