Hey guys, wondering what your opinions are on brakes...and ONLY these two options. Please do NOT tell me to get f-body brakes b/c they are not one of the options I'm presenting.
It's time for me to get brakes, and I need new rotors as one of mine was trashed (pad wore down to metal). I am on a very tight budget, but want to get something decent since I need new rotors..and part store rotors are a ripoff.
From TDC Racing, I can get stock replacment rotors with cross-drilling/slotting and Hawk pads for roughly $150 http://www.topdeadcenterracing.com/P....aspx?CatId=20
The other option I'm considering is
ZZP 12" upgrade with the single piston caliper. This comes with new plain rotors, calipers, bolts, bushings, and powerstop pads for about $250. http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...=576&catid=138
I thought the stock brakes were pretty good stock, which is why I'm considering the TDC route, as it'd be the same cost as parts store stuff, but would help on resale...as a potential buyer wouldn't care if the brakes were bigger, but looked cool ...
If it were you, would you spend the extra $100 for all new equipment and a larger, plain rotor? I do NOT have enough money to get f-body calipers. (or cross-drilled/slotted 12" rotors)
Thanks for your opinions.
Jesse
