12923, Need your opinions on my brake upgrade setup.
Posted by Mystic511, Oct-23-02 04:14 AM
I'm putting in powerslot slotted rotors (front and back), new brakepads, and stainless steel brakelines. Motul 600c brake fluid will also be put in.

Now.. is it worth it? Think i'll feel a difference in braking or do you think I'm just wasting my time?

I know it's not going to be that big of a difference since stock rotor size is so small anyway, but i trust your opinions so if you guys tell me it's just TOTALLY useless, then i won't even bother trying.

ps.. my hands still hurt from my 13 hour spring/strut install. haha.

I love how just good pads and the raceconcepts rotors brake
add a set of ss lines and you will be real happy

Dont forget to get the rotor off you need to thread a bolt into the two holes and slowly tighten it until it pops off

I forgot about the hole and spend 2 hours trying to knock it off with a hammer and LOTS of wd-40

then I remembered about the threads and it popped off in seconds
I was kicking myself in the head after that one

Get some nice pads to go with that set up, not a stock pad.

yes good point, Ive got carbon metallic ones from autozone with the lifetime warranty (believe it or not when you wear them down you just take the old pads into autozone and they give you free ones
I think you have to keep the original receipt and the box, but who cars its free 50 dollar pads every year from then on

powerslots are so nice. I have only the fronts with stock pads and it made a huge diffrence. I am adding rear's and better pads over the winter. Where can you get the ss lines and how much are they for the whole car.
