brakes were easy install until i broke two bolts above the heat shield that needed to be drilled out. This is the season opener for me. Too bad the rear brake looks bigger than the front This post has been edited by purplegt4: Mar 16, 2008 - 1:54 AM |

like I did say I don't know how good mine were, I don't think they were good quality.
There are great brands that are drilled/slotted but I had a bad experience with them so I'm a little biased against them I'm sure good quality drilled/slotted rotors would be better than blanks but for the $ and my use, blanks do me just fine. what brand are those ? how much were they ? -------------------- |

I gotta look at the box. lol. I dont remember every brand i buy.
But it's not all about quality though; it about function; and what you want them to do/what they're used for. Track guys want them to be narrow, because they dont need the break untill it's down to the last second, then they want to stop in an instant. So they want narrow. We drive every day, so we want a more broad range of stopping degree. So we want a wider caliper. It's not that you got a poor quality product, it could be that you had a product for the incorrect application I'm trying to find out where to go to buy bulk, us I'm trying to start a Houston Group Buy for these baby's~ This post has been edited by D-Man: Mar 13, 2008 - 2:18 PM -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!
