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 --------------------  |

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Brembo blanks and OEM pads. Cheap and does work.

QUOTE (Neon90424 @ Jul 11, 2011 - 2:35 PM) I have 17" rims So it should fit, I also have spacers on...I was just curious as how 4wd with even 4 wheel 4 pot brakes would handle or will I spin out? In regards to this, look up a term called "brake bias". NJCCMD2002 hit it on the head when he says that you dont want your rears locking up before the fronts. I witnessed what can happen with this myself when a friend of mine installed R32 GTR calipers in place of his stock calipers on his GC8 hoping for a cheap brake upgrade. Needless to say, he went out driving that night and had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting a car....that caused his rear end to get air-borne and slam (coming down) into a tall a$$ center median...destroyed his entire rear subframe and rear left wheel... Here is a nice detailed article on brake bias, courtesy of google. http://sports.racer.net/brake_bias.htm This post has been edited by 3WayStunna: Jul 12, 2011 - 5:36 PM -------------------- (\__/)
