I didn't change anything else, I didn't even take the slide pins out. And I didn't get a high performance car for "normal driving", which is why I want all the braking power I can get.

And are you seriously saying there's no difference between DRs and all season tires? I gained .2 at the track just by switching to DRs, and have traction on the street all the time, VS the car going sideways with 2/3 throttle.

So

No what i meant was you cant compare brake pads as if you were comparing tires. Not even close to the same effect on handling. ive gone threw probably 5 different sets of pads on the LT1 brakes in the T/A. i now have an LS1 brake swap. and NOthing comes Close. i noticed little to no difference in pad quality/stopping power. wen all else was equal. all im saying is pads on a stock Puny rotor wont net you any better stopping power. 20 bux sez take a car with the same curb weight and brakes sizing. use EBC's in one and cheap ass advance wearevers. bet you dont see any significant drop in 60-0 times.

i am on topic FOOL! im telling you just goto advance and get there wearever rotors and pads. or goto Auto Zone and get there Duralast. or any parts store and get there pads and rotors. spending the money on shit thats gunna wear out in under 30k doesnt make any sence wen it costs more and doesnt perform any better then stock replacement stuff.

Like i saiddo it like knight or not at all




Anyways on a serious note the car isn't fast enough to warrant anything special so ebc hawk or any regular brand like pizza said will be fine maybe slight differences but not enough to warrant a big $ difference so see what u can get a deal on






Also if you knew that off the top of your head you need to spend the money on a shrink not pads

Personally I think Duralast rotors are a great choice. They seem to have very good resistance to warping, based on my experience in my Escort. Price is reasonable, 2 year warranty. They seem to do pretty well in performance applications as well, even some autocrossers use them.
