philip 87 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 I was thinking about going with brembo brake upgrade but really don't wanna get new wheels to fit that application. But I do wanna upgrade rotors and pads and retain original wheels. Been looking at slotted and drilled rotors and confused about what to buy. Any advice? Thanks TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMAv Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 DBA rotors, Hawk pads. Upgrade to SS brake lines and blue heavy duty brake fluid, venting fronts is always a good idea.. Stay away from drilled rotors as they tend to crack from drilled location to drilled location, at least that is what I have read and regularly heard around the track. They are apparently more for show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Hawk HPS pads front and rear , PowerSlot or DBA 4000 rotors ( slotted only NOT cross drilled), Goodridge SS hoses F&R , quality brake fluid , and some front brake ducting.

Thanks TS Switched from Hawk to EBC yellow pads and won't go back. As others have said stay away from drilled rotors. Slotted is the way to go.

James Hill Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Power Slot Cryo discs, Hawk HPS pads for street, HP+ for track days, SS brake lines, and Motul racing fluid 660, DOT4 brake fluid. This setup has served me quite well, but a complete brake upgrade is in the works for this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philip 87 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 I looked into the Baer rotors and pads and the DBA rotors. Both look great and thanks for the advice. I think I'm gonna go with Baer Decela rotors and sport touring pads as suggested. Hey, if Shelby American partnered with Baer brakes, that works for me. You guys rock!
