Anyone need a BRAKE?

GT/CS · June 5th, 2007, 03:06 AM

Quick question on what brake upgrades you guys are turning out there. If you went with the complete upgrades (eg Brembo, Baer, Wilwood etc) or if you mixed and matched (ie calipers from, say a porsche and fabbed the brackets and matched with different rotors etc). What is working for you guys? I know the complete kits are WAY too expensive and calipers from other cars seem to be abundant on ebay.

just my personal opinion but EVERYBODY around here that has BEAR brakes, those things crack all over the rotor.

I just went with ROTORPROS crossdrilled and slotted rotors with HAWK pads and they work fine for me.

i went with the BAER GT-Plus kit fro the front and the BAER Eradispeed rear kit. I needed a brake upgrade kit for my supercharger, my stock brakes hate the blower.

if your staying N/A, all you really need is a good set of rotors (RotoPros), pads (HAWK) and Stainless Steel Brakelines and you will notice a difference in the brakes on your mustang.

(Steeda) StopTech 14" with Hawk Pads up front.

Rear is still stock at the moment.

The Stock brakes were horrible!

No shitty, the stock brakes are not good at all. Sliders? Come on that's lame. Anyway, who's heard things about Alcon calipers? I have I brand new pair of rears (4 piston) and will grab a pair for up front I'm sure. Any thoughts?
