Im doing a rear disc convertion and would like to upgrade the rotors to slotted and drilled and get good brake pads. I did some reserch but i couldnt get too much info on this.
While i do this swap i guess i dont have to change my proportioning valve because st and gt use the same ones correct? I know brake pads from 94-95 to 96-99 are different on a gt but rotors are different too? I saw this one what you think? If there are better ones for the same price or close let me know please. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Premium-Ser...=item5ae1634292 --------------------  |

Im not a big fan of slotted or drilled rotors at all. I abuse the hell out of my car and from what ive learned so far, either some fresh new blanks or resurfaced rotors in combination with some good pads (good meaning good heat range for what your brakes will more than likely be dealing with. Also good type of material) is all i or anyone would even need for mild setup....
Although the posted information brought to us by GALCOBAR is mostly true, it dosent really go to far to mention what most of us tuners should actually try to attain in terms of a good brake setup for a mildy tuned, street driven car. For example this article..Dispels alot of myths about the braking system in general. Also mentions that is you want to STOP better. Your best off investing in a good set of stickier tires!! http://www.scirocco.org/faq/brakes/pulpfriction/pfpage1.html http://www.carbibles.com/brake_bible.html This post has been edited by 3WayStunna: Jul 12, 2011 - 5:27 PM -------------------- (\__/)
