#5468, "need brakes soon!!!!!"




          

Alright guys, I need brakes real soon and this is my chance to get rid of the crappy stock Mitsu rotors. Just wondering what all do I need to upgrade the brakes. I was just planning on getting rotors and pads, any suggestions?? Will it work with the stock brake parts (calipers, etc...)?? Also, where can I get a good deal on rotors and pads?? Thanks!!!!

Look on www.thepartstrader.com or www.dsmtrader.com for the GSX 2 pistons calipers and clips. Then buy some slotted rotors and pads for the GSX and swap the parts. Much better stopping with 2 pistons and larger discs. Good luck. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

I do like the powerslot rotors. The powerstop (they are crossdrilled) should also be good, alot of people are very satisfied with them. You won't have to worry about warping anymore with either of those rotors, or any other good aftermarket set (unless you are rally racing I guess)

As for pads, metal masters (or their equivalent) should be fine. I went for the $$$ porterfield R4S pads, they grip a little better, but are more resistant to fading.
