New brakes.


Okay i think i need new brakes on my 04 stang... The brake pedal has to be pressed pretty hard to get good stopping power. And the rear ones make a slight scrubbing sound... 30000 miles is on the car. I was wondering is this normal to change break pads at this time or?

Yeah pads don't have a normal time to change really just whenever they get bad and you notice your breaking performance slipping.

sounds like a good call. I had my brakes go out on my in my stang over the summer. I luckily was only 1/2 a mile from my shop, but it wasn't a fun time. Don't delay a brake check.

im not sure what makes them better i just know thats something extremely crucial and i will never go cheap on it. i have brembo brakes and rotors and i stop on a half dollar. if i had better tires i could probably stop on a dime.

OK? why the hell do you have 2,000 brakes in your car that you dont like..? you kept saying you didnt like your car n all this.. you realize im gonna call bs on this because brembos for the front 13inch kit will run 2000dollars.. and the rear about 1000..

its because they are cross drilled and slotted which keeps them cooler making them mroe efficient.. and they have 4 pistons in them (twice as much as stock ones) that do the clamping down on the rotor..

You Can Get Cross Drilled N Slotted Roters For Like 180 a piece
