new rotors....


So i was lookin at my car and what i can change about it and I want new rotors. First question...how hard are they to replace, can me and my dad do it ourselves. And 2, i know that there are ford racing ones on american muscle but are there any good ones like wilwood or baer that will just fit right onto my car with my stock calipers. I want drilled and slotted...

I've never worked on that particular model, but most cars are as easy as pull of the wheel, undo 2 bolts to remove the caliper and pull the rotor off (or pull the safety ring off then pull the rotor off) I would go to your local autoparts store and just ask them what's available. They should be able to give you a good selection.

i have the cobra callipers all the way arounr with baer 13'' drilled and slotted rotors ,,this was an easy install i did it all in maybe 3 hours,,the hardest part of the job was bleeding the breaks ,,you might look into one of the power bleeders look in my garage to see how they look ,,the performance from these breaks is awsome
this is the kit i bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-04...QQcmdZViewItem

I have the 13" brake kit that comes on the Bullitt and I recently had my front rotors replaced. I bought the powerslot rotors on AM because I've heard stories of the drilled rotors cracking or breaking.

I don't see why not. That's basically what I had done.

Imagine trying to stop from a 100 roll and have a cheap drilled rotor snap!!! My life depends on the brakes? Get it done right bro. Or just replace them with the duralast from autozone, it should be OK.

I have crossed drill and slotted brembo rotors off of ebay. Two years and they still look and work great.
