414, KVR Performance brakes Posted by DeanoD, Jan-15-01 11:21 AM
Has anyone used these carbon/kevlar brake pads. They make them for the front and rear(disc). They also make big brake conversion kits for the front. The shop I use is thinking about becoming a dealer for their products and would like a bit more feedback. BTW: http://www.cyberauto.com has been selling these brake pads for a long time now and the price is very good for a carbon/kevlar pad.

416, are you using stock rotors in the rear? Posted by DeanoD, Jan-15-01 01:18 PM
I was thinking about using the KVR rears but do not want to chew up/overheat the stock rotors. Are the pads suppose to be rotor friendly like other carbon/kevlar pads?

417, We went ahead and set up a dealer program Posted by DeanoD, Jan-16-01 08:19 AM
I called today and set up S&A Motorsports to be the Arkansas dealer for KVR Performance.
I ordered KVR front cross drilled rotors with silver cad plating, front Hawk HP plus pads and rear KVR carbon/kevlar pads.
The rest of the set up is waiting at the shop for installation. RRE stainless brake lines, Russel speed bleeders, 2GS-T stock rear rotors and calipers. I decided on bleeding my entire brake system and using valvoline synthetic dot 4 fluid.
This season is looking better and better.

I'm hoping they will be nice. There weren't any negative reports that I came across. We'll have to see.
I have RRE SS lines already, and am waiting AEM rotor upgrades on the front. Haven't decided on the rear yet, but may leave the stock rotors while I absorb the cost of everything else. Why do all these parts have to cost so much money? ;)
