New brakes.

MustanG_guy17 · April 1st, 2007, 10:05 PM

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?

GreenFaleen · April 1st, 2007, 10:06 PM

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

MustanG_guy17 · April 1st, 2007, 10:08 PM

Ok. Well it's still under warranty so i geuss ill call tomorrow.

GreenFaleen · April 1st, 2007, 10:12 PM

yeah good call. tell them to check your rotors as well and go ahead and do a tire rotation and other small maintenance things as well

MustanG_guy17 · April 1st, 2007, 10:15 PM

ok. I have already had the tires rotated. Just brakes. Ill have them check em out.

GreenFaleen · April 1st, 2007, 10:19 PM

Awesome

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.

get brembo brakes, i swear by them! saved my life quite a few times.

MustanG_guy17 · April 1st, 2007, 11:58 PM

Are the stock breaks any good????

Random-Hero · April 2nd, 2007, 12:36 AM

yea i am just wondering how different brand name breaks are different?

Iv'e Heard Helluva Good remarks From The Brembo "brand" , Id Slap On A Conversio Kit For My Stang Only If They werent 2 Grand .... in The Future I Will Though

232stang · April 2nd, 2007, 01:05 AM

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.

GreenFaleen · April 2nd, 2007, 01:33 AM

Brembo is good so is baer I have a scaled down version of the cobra rotors to fit my 15's and they are great

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..
