Crappy Stock Brakes-need upgrades

[blueflamed03]

if I keep mine, this is an upgrade I'd like to do as well, same setup you have haks310.

 

[haks310]

They are well worth it if. I believe I paid $318 shipped from SummitRacing.

what made you go with the powerslotted versus the others? (i'm also thinking of performing a brake upgrade)

 

[haks310]

Reviews from guys running the same set-up.

 

[sparg93]

have you heard any comments about changing out the rears to disks...worth all the extra money?

 

[blueflamed03]

I'd do front first, majority of braking is done with front. Later, when cash allows, then possibly adding rear slots.

 

[haks310]

Yeah, do the fronts first. They do about 70% of the braking. Drum brakes do a good job and are cheap. Up to you if rear disks are worth it.

I like how they look and the increased braking performace in wet situations. Personally, I'll be doing the swap down the road.

also changing out your old fluid could do you wonders. When your brake fluid hits air, it absorbs moisture(air). air which is not good for your fluid.

Dot5 is the best kind of brake fluid out there, but is not recommended for GM,

 

[haks310]

Yup, I just went ahead and used DOT4

i wonder what would happen if you used dot5? i mean its only a "recommendation"..
