Hey my brakes are going and im in need of new ones. I had the duralast ceramic pads and their getting bad. My rotors are also rusted so ill be buying new drilled and slotted ones. I was curious if theres anything more that i'll NEED if i buy 12" rotors for the front and back, and new pads. Can i throw them right on without needing anything else (everything else seems to be fine) ? Thanks.

Theres a brake swap thread that gives what you need Id order from rock auto and just get the brackets and such also no need for slotted drilled rotors unless your really going to use them

you"ll need new caliper brackets for the 12 inch upgrade.

Basically what im asking is am i better off pieceing together 12" brakes or buying a kit from zzp ?

neither...i originally had 12s and called bear brakes who sold me the 2004 shelby mustange/2004 corvette 13 brakes with a bracket to hang them and the performance difference is crazy and they look gorgeous

and how much did you end up paying for those giant brakes? i bet its way more than you should have.

over a grand but if your willing to sink that into a motor to gain horsepower then u need to be wise enouph to sink the same into suspension and brakes....why go 130mph if u cant stop of corner. with that though i got everything from lines to pads and a great warranty. i race around in the inner city so if i cant break im dead, your dead, or i got a ticket. they have saved me way more than the 1000 ill tell uOriginally Posted by Bio248
