Brake upgrades. What can I do? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Thu Apr 21 05:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The SS lines are a good move as is an annual flush with a DOT 4 fluid. The current thinking is that slotted rotors are better than cross drilled. The point of larger rotors is the ability to absorb the heat of braking which is why vented are better than solid. If you can lock the brakes, you don't need more mechanical advantage. Both slots and holes help disperse the gasses and heat of braking. I still believe that oem pads are best for average use. If you tow a heavy trailer in the Rockies or enjoy canyon carving late at night, maybe ceramic or metalics are right for you.
