I got my pics of my brake install its not a big brake kit but its better than stock.

 

brake upgrades

orange calipers

What kind of pads did you go with?

 

What kit is that and where you get it from?

 

i believe those are red calipers..

 

I heard slotted and drilled rotors can warp...any info on this issue?

Khoi

 

what pads are you running ?

 

cross drilled rotors will crack, slotted rotors are fine

 

Yes there red. The kit was from landspeed racing it was the sport kit ( 2 rotors, and pads). The racing kit has 4 rotors, pads, and stainless steel brake lines. Sport kit was 200 and the race kit was like 425. Powerstop powerslot rotors and pbr pads. I checked on the warping issue. The slotted and drilled rotors can warp more easily because of the lower amount of actual metal in the rotor. Although you can warp any rotor if you really try.

what prompted you to get this "kit"? I mean, outside of the better pads, you won't really see an improvement in braking distances...

You could have just as easily bought some Hawk HP Plus brake pads, turned the rotors and had great braking? Just curious on the decision.

 

look in summit ad,says cross-drilled stay 200 degrees cooler than stock rotor.also lighter weight and resists warping 3x's than stock.

 

I think summit is just trying to sell their products.

 

yea summit is trying to sell you the rotors they aren't gonna say that the warp quicker and crack easier?

IMO i'd stay away from the cross drilled not needed at the speeds your going to be going... especially with the pads your runnin'. As far as slotted...eh

the better the caliper / pad the better the braking the lines make a significant difference if you go that far.

 

i doubt you'd go that fast to need slotted.. it's rare that any street car would.. but i got htem on my car.. i jsut like the way they look ;p
